    Fred,

        Talk about a "KLUDGE"....!

        Please, allow me to simplify your online presence with this suggestion.
        1.. Dump AOL
        2.. Engage a good ISP (take ATT for example) - now $15/mo., and they are advertising a new $7/mo. service (sorry, I don't have the details)
        3.. Set up two (or more, they give you six for the price of one) mail accounts - one for your personal stuff and one for the list stuff.
        4.. Use Internet Explorer (it's now used 9:1 over NetScape) and Outlook Express.
        5.. Set up "message rules" on Outlook Express to place the incoming messages into different folders, depending on where the messages come from.
        That's it. Now you'll have a great ISP, a great browser, and a great e-mail client - all for less than you are currently paying. Plus all the mail comes to one place. Simple...

      I'm on AOL, still using 4.0 version, but I piggyback it onto my local ISP.
      The local costs about $15 per month & AOL costs an additional $8 or $9 per
      month. The advantage for me is that I can set up different addresses on AOL
      for the lists I'm on, the only mail I get at this address is from liveaboard.
      I use my local provider for personal mail.

      For www access I use Netscape (older version) thru my local ISP. Have to
      admit AOL's browser sucks.

      Fred
