Thanks Murray... However, MSN (The Microsoft Network) is my ISP and they're notorious for their unfixable problems with their email system. In addition to that, they have had a major connection problem with AOL 's email and vice versa. This has been a source of "virtual headaches" for both online services over the past several months - enough so, that it's made the press upon a number of occasions.

I believe your problem stems from the space between barb and msn being typed as a space or a hyphen when it must be the BAR above the minus sign on your keyboard. This is a very common error as the e-mail addresses are underlined in your e-mail client and the <bar> blends with the underline.Try barb <shift minus> [log in to unmask] or barb <shift minus> [log in to unmask] Either one should go through as a legitimate address. Best regards and seasons greetings ..............new list subscriber Murray Charters Don.... Sorry 'bout that! I have no idea why happens.. but if it's any consolation, I cannot send an email reply to Ken Becker and one or two other List members no matter how many times I try! I have to first copy any message that Ken posts, then open a new email message window, then paste in what I copied into the new message, and address that new message to the List, and THEN write in my response, and do a send. WHAT a royal pain THAT is! <groan> Well, actually, it might be a blessing in disguise for the rest of you all. 'cause I'd prolly post even more responses to Ken if I could do it easily! <grin> As far as the "Classic" goes in my email address... that something internal with MSN, and email sent to me at my usual OR with the addition of the word "classic" SHOULD get to me.... unless there's one of those "email glitches" as mentioned above.
