Jim, After setting up my Yahoo id today I too tried to link and was unsuccessful. So, I too strongly support DISA stepping up to the plate on this one and sponsoring the new EDI-L list. Rachel An update to my Yahoo Group subscription experience I reported in a previous posting: The 'conversion' of my business email address succeeded behind the scenes, apparently - i.e. I did not have to re-request 'conversion'. When I signed in today - about 24 hours after first establishing a Yahoo ID, both emails - my business email and Yahoo email - were available for 'linking' to Yahoo groups. I was able to 'link' the EDI-L group to my business email address and select the digest feature. My conclusion: I would still prefer a more 'interested' host - like DISA - but the Yahoo alternative is fully featured. My warning: Your mileage may vary. Regards, James K.
