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.
 
Sue
