For ** serious work you should use your ISP's free email account. ** like yourusername@yourisp.com I do not agree with this. If people wish to not use their private addresses as possible SPAM targets, then using free email services is ideal. I would use one of these if our www proxy didnt strip everything useful. My boss, who is currently in the US (from the UK) on company business, relies on hotmail etc because it can be accessed from anywhere worldwide. How about people who are on the move all day? - a normal account is impractical. Basically I think your argument is unfounded and unfair. ----------------------------------------------------------- Chris Smith IS Dept - Raytheon Systems Limited [chris.smith@raytheon.co.uk] +44 1279 407 103 ----------------------------------------------------------- MicroSoft is not the answer, MicroSoft is the question, the answer is no. - unknown =========================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
