This is a phishing email designed to collect your User ID and Password. According to Yahoo the best thing to do is to mark it as spam so your spam filter will improve. Here's some articles on spam and how to manage it.

It is a fake !
They have now got the opportunity to get infomation that was not previously available, just by someone leaving on their email account.
I am so happy that you are careful.
There must be somewhere you can report this.
Try the box just below the green area "Search Yahoo Answers" for "Report Phishing to Yahoo" or something like that.
Good luck
No, it's not from Yahoo. They want you to click the link and submit your email information so they can gain access to your contact list or use your account to send spam. Mark it as Spam or delete it.
