 Replying to [comment:3 darkrain42]:
 > Ugh, Porkrinds is correct (at least, I can certainly reproduce error
 1013 here).

 I got confused by the webmessenger login thing. Anyways, I was able to
 reproduce it as well.

 > Sulabh, how difficult would it be to strip off "@yahoo.com" of the
 username for authentication/setting the connection display_name?

 It is easy to do that, we can call purple_account_set_username(name) from
 yahoo prpl, where name would be after stripping off "@abc.xyz" (yahoo has
 several domains not just yahoo.com).[[BR]]

 Yahoo username is the id not the email address. I think we should instead
 just check in our login procedure whether user is providing his id or
 email address, warn the user and disable the account in case email address
 is being provided.[[BR]]

 I will do whatever other prpls do for such a case, how is such a thing
 handled in other prpls?

 We shouldn't put an email address in the field for username in the first
 place :P
