XML and Yahoo

This has come up a lot so for reference:

Yahoo users; instructions for saving XML files.

1) Open a New text document by right clicking whichever folder I want it in.
2) Highlight the text in the email using cursor from <meturn> through to
</meturn>.
3) Right click COPY
4) Right Click or File-Paste to the New text document.
5) Save as filename.xml and ensure files of Type is selected as "All files".
This will give you a file that you can then use in Automagic and MEOW. Eg
g220n16t010.xml or g052n03t000.xml.

The above should cover 99% of the problems. Sometimes you need to remove
the hard returns that Yahoo puts into the text. To do this do a find and
replace for the hard return. We've found that has solved the other 1% so
far.

Thanks
Clint
