[access-uk] Re: Subscription Address

Tony, Just to clarify one point.  With the yahoo.co.uk account the 
spam problem was intermittent.  I could sometimes go for months with 
almost spam free downloads and then suddenly it would begin again.   
You might be lucky - perhaps it would be worth giving it a try.  To 
be honest the main reason why I changed my Yahoo lists from 
yahoo.co.uk to Gmail.com was that I kept absent mindedly posting to 
Yahoo lists from the wrong account and getting my messages returned.
