Hi Ess....yahoo allows a lot of "junk" that freelists can't handle. Remember that yahoo is big business and freelists is run by volunteers and is a bit more "pure" :-) If your office assistants are greyed out, I'm wondering if you even have them installed? Search your hard drive for a folder called Actors. See if you have it and if it has anything in it. If not, you will have to reinstall them from the CD. Let me tell you that I teach online Outlook classes and the only people in there that have major problems are those using Outlook 97. The rest of Office 97 isn't THAT bad, but Outlook 97 just plain stinks, in my opinion.

Both addresses are receiving list mail just fine now (weird how the Yahoo groups allow that "junk" to get through and don't see it as an attachment). The test mail I sent hours ago from Outlook to my AOL address (not to the list address) never made it, even though it shows as having been sent (in the Sent Items box). I did not get an error message on that one. I wish I knew why all was fine last night, and today, after adding the MS Exchange portion of the program and installing all the Exchange extensions (.ecf files), and after disabling Rich Text (actually, I don't think it was ever enabled), I can't send mail without junk at the end, and the Office Assistants are still grayed out on the Tools menu. I think I should just give up, uninstall the program, and look for a good deal on Office2000. I've bugged all you nice folks enough with this. Time for me to enter the 21st century, MSOffice-wise.
