: What file is Yahoo putting the beacon in? (so I can erase  it)



the 'beacon' is actually a web bug
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_bug


and are generally gif's of 1x1 pixel.

if you want to remove such things you can do a search for all gifs under
1kb in size, problem is that they are effective when you view a page or, as
discussed here before, when you load an email written in HTML that has a
web bug embedded, hence the reason few computer savvy types will have
anything to do with HTML emails

oh and they affect all computer users equally irrespective of the operating
system
