Roelof already gave you a solution to your problem, but if I were you, I wouldn't bother to send out the mails but do the following: You say you want to use the RCN.com account. So, whenever you receive a mail you want to reply to, never mind to which address, just reply "From" that account. Add a tagline "New email adress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - please update your addressbook". I have changed my email address a couple of times over the years, and it always worked perfectly this way. Important is of course that you can still check the old address for a while, but you said that RCN will forward the mails to the old address indefinitely, and attbi for a few months. There will be only a few exceptions of people that are important to you that don't get in touch with you for a period of a few months. To these few, you can still send the special message, thus also having an opportunity to finally wish them a happy new year. ;-) Of course, all of the above only applies for private addresses. Business addresses may have other needs. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy.
