Hi Graham,
I did just what you suggested, and my userid and password, when
decoded, appear to be formatted just as you described.
So, does that mean that things are OK on Yahoo's end, and that
the problem is in Rebol's ESMTP?
BTW, although it's probably not relevant, I'm using a dial-up
telephone connection.
Thanks very much.
