I figured out how to set it up. It might be useful for Mark to store these
instructions, because there are other people struggling with it, and yahoo
help is useless (according to them, it's not possible). So, everyone can
send from both work and home address despite what's yahoo saying.
Maybe Mark can post these instructions somewhere...

1. Join the group.
2. Go into My Groups (It's in a Start a Group - My Groups - Account Info -
Sign Out menu)
3. Go into "E-mail preferences"
4. Add all the e-mail addresses you plan to use.
5. You'll have to verify each address, so just follow instructions on the
screen. You can verify them later, but you won't be able to use them until
they are verified.
6. Go to Account Info (It's in a Start a Group - My Groups - Account Info -
Sign Out menu)
7. Click on "Edit" button for the "Member Information" section.
8. Under E-mail information, there should be listed all your registered
e-mails. Select Primary E-mail address and click on Finish.
9. Screen will refresh and (primary) in bold should be next your primary
e-mail address. Remember which one you set up as a primary, that's
important.
10. Now go back to My Groups, into "E-mail preferences".
11. You'll have the list of all registered e-mail addresses. In the
rightmost column there is a link "Options" for each e-mail address.
12. Click on the link "Options" for your PRIMARY e-mail address, which you
selected under step 8. It's important to click that one because Yahoo keeps
separate settings for each e-mail address.
13. Now go into alternate posting addresses and put all the alternate
addresses you plan to use for sending mails from.
14. Click on Save Changes
15. It's finished! Now you should be able to send mails from different
addresses.

Please note that if you change your Primary E-mail address, you won't be
able to send from any other adress until you set up alternate addresses for
that E-mail address.
It's still unclear to me what's the function of Primary e-mail address.

Cheers,
Nik

  That's not the same thing Nik = you _should_ be able to send from multiple
  addresses, as set up in your yahoo alternate posting addresses thing.
  If you want to do what you propose, you need to set up another email
account
  in outlook.
