0 Subject: Yahoo problems - names with accents, etc

this was very briefly a problem last year before Yahoo fixed it, but it looked like they didn't remember.

players with accents, tildes, and other puncuation marks in their names don't show up when you search by name - i.e. if you type in Beltran, no one shows up, because they have an accent on the "A" in his last name.

who gets emailed on something like this?

Tree,
From a league main page, click the hyperlinked Help.
That will bring up a list of commonly asked questions.
click any of the links in drafts or scoring and scroll down to the bottom. There will be a button that says: Is this enough information: Yes or No.
Click no, then fill out the form.

Or sort by stolen bases, among other things.
