Yahoo! Calling Out Spammer in the Results?

For the first time I have spotted an instance where Yahoo! is calling out an email spammer right in their search results. Let’s look at the screen grabs.

At the top of the search results, Yahoo! shows this message:

Yahoo! Email Spam Header

And then in the results they show this:

Yahoo! Email Spam Result

And when you hover over that, Yahoo! pops up this:

Yahoo! Email Spam Popup

You can see the whole screenshot here.

Looks like Yahoo! might be trying to differentiate themselves as the company that protects users from spammers. The real question is, if a company is so bad that they flag them, why show them in the results at all?
