If you are using Pine 3.91 you can set the user domain in the setup to put the domain of your ISP and then use a login with the same name as your login on the ISP. That is how I have been doing my mail (and how I am replying to this right now). If you are using a different mail program I don't know (but I am sure someone does). Anyway hope this helps and is what you were asking. --- Duane ____________________________________________________________________________ Duane Ellison duane@gargamel.ptw.com Edwards, California http://gargamel.ptw.com/~duane
