Ah, sorry John. I didn't realize how much you hate gmail. I wasn't trying to yank your chain. (Thanks for the heads up, Bruce!) John, I buy web hosting space from godaddy.com. I use this to post the photos I share on PDML. With this account, I get an email address, which I also use for my PDML subscription--and other things as well. I find the annual fee affordable, though I can't remember what it is as I write this, and I'm not at home to look it up.
Perhaps something like this might be an option for you.
