    Dear Lucas,

    I was made aware of this issue, and I am working so that everyone gets
    an upgrade soon so that Alpine will work with Yahoo! servers soon.

    Update: I contacted Verizon, who owns Yahoo!, and asked them to authorize
    me to implement XOAUTH2 authorization to their Yahoo! server. They granted
    me such authorization and now everyone can use XOAUTH2 authentication with Yahoo!

    The implementation is in the git repository, and I will keep testing it,
    but feel very confident about it, since it did not involve much extra code
    to implement. I will release it officially soon, ina new version of
    Alpine.

    If you test it, please send me all feedback you have about it.
