When i send e-mails on Yahoo!, it is giving the message, "between 0000-00-00 and 9999-99-99 " at the bottom?

Why would it do this?

    This has only happened since the maintenance, maybe it's another famous Yahoo glitch.. I am keeping an eye on the forums see if anything comes up.

    This is a bug introduced by Yahoo during a recent code update on April 15. They are aware of the problem and working to fix it. It is related to the MySQL database used by the email system.

    The "between 0000-00-00 and 9999-99-99" text is inserted at the bottom of outgoing messages.

    There is no known work-around for Yahoo Mail users, except wait until Yahoo fix their software problem.

    There also are no known problems with it, except for confusing everyone who comes across it! It's not a virus or anything else malicious.
