Felmon,

Yes, but the effect of this at&t/yahoo policy is to censure their 
customers.  at&t had never informed me of this policy. I had to figure 
it out from the unusual silence I was experiencing.  These at&t/yahoo 
policies are not in my interests, so I am dumping at&t/yahoo as soon as 
I can.

Thanks for the link.  It was enlightening.

Thanks.
Girvin
