Well, it doesnt do much good. Two messages I sent to Dilwyn's Tesco account have resulted in me being spammed ever since with some rubbish about deleyed messages and that it will keep trying. Just got my first message back full in the face after 10 days. (Thank Goodness! I hope thats the end of that one!) DJ's softnet account is refused by /my/ ISP! Im obviously not supposed to send email to that address. I thought all these demons were working on Dilwyn's behalf, but it seems the email paradigm is crumbling all around. Pity, I used to think it a reliable and fun mode of communication. Per _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
