​I can't speak for Yahoo Mail, I use gmail.  But when responding to a BEE-L
post, the easiest way I have found for my mailer to offer for editing
everything that will be sent to the moderator, is Ctrl-A
Ctrl-A is the keyboard shortcut for "Select All".  In gmail, Ctrl-A shows
everything that will be included in your submission.  Standard editing
protocol is used thereafter.

Problems with "cross-mailer control characters" can be solved by reverting
to the common denominator across all mailers, Text only!  There is a last
resort trick I sometimes resort to when I have a particularly vexing
formatting puzzle: "Ctrl-A" to select all, "Ctrl-X" to cut everything to my
clipboard.  Open up Notepad (yes, *Notepad*, remember text only), "Ctrl-P"
to paste everything into Notepad, and edit everything in Notepad.  When I
have everything as I want in in Notepad,
"Ctrl-A", "Ctrl-C" to select everything and copy to my clipboard, go back
to my mailer and "Ctrl-P" to paste everything into my mailer, and "Send".
Cumbersome at first, but second nature after practice.
