AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!  :-(  *HUGE FROWN!*

Having gotten THAT of my chest.....

This might explain how it is I'm able to RECEIVE mail from QTH.NET but NOT
_SEND_ mail to QTH.NET (or at least to the COHAM list)  If THIS is the case,
I shall MOST DEFINATELY move my Ham mail over to my AT&T box.  However, I'd
rather not do that because of a possible pending changeover from attbi.com
to comcast.net

If I'm FORCED to make a change NOW, I sure hope that Yahoo! Mail is still
free because I'm NOT bothering with NetZero or some other email-only service
that only has a small amount of storage space (I'm on A LOT of lists on both
QTH.NET and Yahoo! Groups).

Anyways....I sure hope THIS goes through.....

Cheers for now & Happy Holidays  :-)
