Default Yahoo marking spam only from mutt

I have mutt set up to send email for my Gmail account. .muttrc looks like this:

Code:
account-hook imaps://imap.gmail.com:993 'set imap_user="me@gmail.com"'
folder-hook imaps://imap.gmail.com:993 'set \
    folder="imaps://imap.gmail.com:993" \
    spoolfile="+INBOX" \
    copy=no \
    postponed="+[Gmail]/Drafts" \
    from="Me <me@gmail.com>" \
    smtp_url="smtps://me\@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com"'
When I send an email to a test Yahoo account from mutt, it ends up in the spam folder. When I send an email to the same account from either the Gmail web interface or Mail.app on OS X, the message lands in the Yahoo inbox. These are the only differences I can discern in the headers:

Code:
MUTT

        Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:41:23 -0700 (PDT)

Message-Id: <01CA74A3-D4DB-462A-A314-99C36C917D7B@gmail.com>
(All the mydomain.com's and 0.0.0.0 IP addresses were edited in by me, FYI.)

Could the Message-Id header be causing this? I thought this was only used for threading messages. I can post the full message headers if anyone wants, but I think these are the only differences. Any ideas?

Or maybe it's the lack of an X-mailer header when the message comes from mutt. But it sets User-agent so it should be fine. I think this is going to become a guess-and-check process.

Just a random thought, but does it work if you use a clean muttrc with just the gmail settings? Perhaps it's not in the folder-hook settings you posted but somewhere else in your muttrc.

I just figured it out. Yahoo is filtering based solely on the X-mailer and User-agent headers (Gmail, as one might assume, has SPF and DKIM set up). I spoofed a Thunderbird User-agent on an email from mutt and it went to the inbox. Yahoo really sucks.
