Norm,

If everything is as Mike has written, how does anyone get messages to you 
sent via Yahoo email address? I wouldn't send this to you via the list, but 
for those that have yahoo as a mail server, I don't know how else to do so. 
It seems that the issues with Comcast and MSN that pushed everyone to Yahoo 
and other email accounts is now causing other problems. If you know of a 
solution, it might be a service to everyone here that has Verizon for email 
service if you can provide a work around.
