John,
Try this test (I'm guessing here; this may not work). Instead of
accessing your Yahoo mail through the mail.yahoo.com Web interface, set
up a POP account on your laptop, using whatever mail client you're
accustomed to (Thunderbird, Outlook Express, whatever), pointed to your
Yahoo address.
After you do that, see if the same thing happens. This is likely to be a
transformation that happens between your Yahoo inbox on the mail server
and the Web browser rather than something that happens within the inbox.
