About blank yahoo email

The infamous "about blank" Yahoo email!

In the early 2000s, Yahoo! Mail introduced a feature called "About Blank" which allowed users to create an email address with a blank subject line. This meant that when someone sent an email to the address, the subject line would be empty, and the email would be delivered to the recipient's inbox without a subject line.

The idea behind "About Blank" was to provide a way for users to create a unique and memorable email address that didn't have a specific subject line. It was also seen as a way to avoid the clutter of subject lines in the inbox.

However, the "About Blank" feature also had some drawbacks. For one, it made it difficult for users to identify the purpose or content of an email without opening it. Additionally, some email clients and spam filters may have flagged or filtered out emails with blank subject lines, thinking they were spam.

In 2013, Yahoo! Mail discontinued the "About Blank" feature, citing concerns about email deliverability and user experience. The company replaced it with a new feature called "Custom Subject Lines," which allowed users to create their own custom subject lines for their email addresses.

Today, Yahoo! Mail no longer offers the "About Blank" feature, and users can only create email addresses with custom subject lines.
