Many thanks for the response, and for the log. Unfortunately, I'm none
the wiser since none of the log descriptions suggests - to me, a user -
that it might be responsible for the problem.

I wonder if anyone else, who uses Yahoo Mail, can replicate this:

On the log-in screen, enter ID and Password, click 'Sign In'

This leads to a screen which says

If you are seeing this page, your browser settings prevent you from
automatically redirecting to a new URL.

Please click here to continue.

Notwithstanding the warning, older versions of NetSurf _do_ redirect,
and display the webmail page, as expected. The current version (#1083
json, or jsoff) displays a 'Warning from NetSurf' saying 'BadType',
and no redirection.

For me this is a nuisance, rather than a show-stopper, since I normally
use pop/smtp, but I need to remember to load #417, to access the Spam
folder, etc.
