Has anyone ever used Lotus' cc:Mail ? I keep getting error messages
trying to set up the list and am wondering now if it might be the mail
program. Due to firewall issues I can't test Netscape right now.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Eric,
I use many different browsers for my list. Netscape is one of them.
I love it for the replies, but for the commands, I use other browsers
because they don't require such validation and they go right through.
Pine on telnet is just of one the five email browsers that I use.
In my opinion, if someone really wants to join the list and they
don't understand how to use the commands, I think that it is up to the
owners to teach them. Especially when they come to use with questions.
