I'm not sure, however, that my company's ISP offers that service, and I am sure that I don't know how to take advantage of it if they do. Unfortunately, the Hypersend idea appears to be no good either, because when a list user clicks on the link sent from Hypersend to retrieve the attachment, Hypersend wants to set up an account for "[email protected]" in order to provide access to the file. Sorry to waste the list's time. Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
