If you look at the www-style archive page, you will
find that my name does show up, albeit in a somewhat
garbled (though still clearly distinguishable) form.

I believe the problems is the e-mail header where
Yahoo mail sends all kinds of encoding information.

Clearly your mail client is incapable of understanding
it. I had no idea that mail clients had this problem,
but to avoid any future misunderstanding I have
appended a signature to this and all subsequent
postings.
