The yarn-list is not known to be a flamethrowing monster, so don't worry.

[from Jens' Yarn config file]

editor=c:\utils\q.exe

This is where you go wrong. In the Yarn config file, you must point your
editor to the YES executable. Yes positions itself between Yarn and your
editor to add headers and signatures. Then it passes the message on to the
"true editor". This is done by the next line in the YES config file:

true_editor = c:\utils\q.exe

This setting is correct.

So, once again for clarity:
if you're using YES, make it your editor in the Yarn config file.
