Not sure what you are doing. I can can read your message using an
incognito window, thus without logging in, through:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_use/EceYG0L5Vyw

The Yahoo archive has been broken for a long time, and the account I
used to maintain it is no longer valid, and Yahoo refuses any way to fix
that. I can't even delete the contents there.
