OK, I sent a PW RESET. Here is the answer.

---------------------------
> PW RESET
[log in to unmask] does not have any password on record for your
[log in to unmask] address.
----------

So I sent a command, PW ADD XXXX    with the x's being my password.

>Then Send the PW ADD new_password  command.

I sent a "PW ADD XXXX"    x is my password and I did not send the "'s

Here is my answer.

That's it. I never get anything else. It never asks for a
confirmation. I tried a OK on this message but got a answer that it
could not extract the code from the Subject line. A change will say
that I do not have a Password, use the add command to make one.

See above. I never get this.

Thanks for your help.
