      Mailman has been designed to be highly configurable.  The up side of 
this is you can do things you could never do with Yahoo - for example if 
you wanted to allow gifs but not jpegs you could do that.  The down side is 
there is no "on/off" switchs for sets of parameters you or some other user 
might want.
      Mailman is not Yahoo (thank God) and never will be (thank Him 
again!).  If you want brain dead software that makes it easy to pick from 
it's very limited choices, there are plenty of services that will give you 
that - along with the ads to pay for it.  If you are willing to do a bit 
more work, you can tailor Mailman for what ever your needs are.  It's your 
choice.
