That's absolutely true with regards to the US version of yahoo. However, there are a couple of variations: 1. There IS a way to RETRIEVE yahoomail without using a web browser. There's a perl script called fetchyahoo which will do it. And of course, the source is readily available, so the technique is available to anyone who cares to whip up a script or program in their favorite language on their favorite OS. 2. Many non-US yahoo sites still offer full yahoo mail accounts with POP access. I recently grabbed a yahoo.co.uk address after having problems with my US account. Other "national" versions continue to offer free pop/smtp as well, though it's hard to say for how long this will continue. All that said, Yahoo email is NOT particularly trustworthy. My account was deactivated without warning, and for unspecified reasons. I only used it for a few yahoogroups subscriptions, so it was no big loss but it was disappointing. Still, such capabilities CAN be useful at times. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
