I don't take part in the discussion as much as many, because I simply don't have time. However, I'm going to vote "yes" on this issue because I think some discussion of opinions of ways to handle certain tasks are enlightening and useful. I would like to add, however, that the one change I would love to see is to add Outlook Express to the discussions. After all, many people now use Roadrunner or some other cable modem and, at least in Roadrunner's case here in Texas, their email took of choice - and the only one they will support - is OE. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda F.
