Hi Bob ...hanks for the info and the invite. I'll pass - Gmail looks to be a web-based mail system and I'd much prefer not to go that route.
With Earthlink I can quickly sort by sender, subject, date/time and can read the mail off line. I'd be curious to see what an invitation is like - but if you only have a couple, don't waste it on me.
