Ever intent to direct your reading habits away from deep reading and thinking, Yahoo email now automagically jumps to the next email when it decides you are done with the present one.
As advertised, this only comes into effect when you have reached the end of an email. But many times today I've seen my message switch when I'm nowhere near the end in a long message. Somewhere between 60 and 80 percent.
Theoretically you can turn this new misfeature off by disabling "Dynamic Email." But I have turned that off, and the same behavior persists.
Now I can scroll to the end of the message and nothing happens. But if I'm in the middle of reading a message, 60-80% done, and turn the scroll wheel a bit too fast, it jumps to the next email.
This is usually a problem more with long emails, but I've seen this happen in relatively short summaries from Washington Post.
