  Draft of Letter to Yahoo [has a "Give Feedback" link] 
List, please make suggestions:
My name is [my full name.] I am totally blind. I use a screen reader which translates screen output into speech.
The method for showing hidden e-mail addresses, where the "send mail link" is invisible, is convoluted for screen reader users. The user has to simulate hovering their mouse over the name, jump to the line with the name now shown and then jump back. And the content doesn't stay. Instead, Yahoo should show all e-mail addresses in a format like"CC: Jen < spiderweb1 at sbcglobal.net >" instead of a hidden, invisible link called "Jen."

I agree. Yahoo should change the interface so that information is not
exposed by hovering the mouse. Thanks for sharing the tip.

Kindly,

Okay, I figured out how to see hidden e-mail address with JAWS...
When you're on a name whose e-mail address you want to see, press Insert,
CTRL and Enter. This simulates hovering your mouse over the name. Then JAWS
will say content changed at, say, line 100. Then press J to jumnp to line,
and type 100. You would then see the person's e-mail address. I wish Yahoo
redesigned its e-mail platform so you didn't have to go through this...
Curtis or anyone experienced in computer programming, how should Yahoo go
about changing this?
