HG>Hi Ed,

HG>EV>I think the AT&T/Yahoo! email service isn't a ISP, AT&T is just
HG>EV>using a free email service such as Hotmail, MSN, GMAIL ... etc. none
HG>EV>of which are ISPs, right?

HG>Wrong! Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is AT&T and probably has its
HG>own e-mail server. That's the case for most ISP's.

Holger,

I still feel like AT&T doesn't Host my email but has Farmed it out to
Yahoo!.

I use http:\\www.att.yahoo.com to get to my AT&T Log On page,
and to me that looks like a Yahoo! address instead of a AT&T address,
that is why I feel the way I do about who I get my email from.

I am not trying to be contentious, please don't think that I am.

HG>EV>I have no idea if a Text Based program can be used to access a
HG>EV>Yahoo! email account.

HG>Please note that it's your Windows/e-mail programs that have a GUI
HG>interface not your ISP or e-mail server.

What I was thinking about was: I get a lot of emails with HTML Text
Fonts, or Images in them to look at, and I would think I would be
haveing to do the UUDECODE thing again as I used to do with my Juno
email in the past.

I figure all I would see with a Text Based Browser (eLinks) would be
Gobs and Gobs of UUENCODED Data, instead of the images sent in the
message.

HG>EV>A long time ago, on my DOS/Win 3.1 486 box I have used Arachne to
HG>EV>check my free email account(s), but Arachne makes DOS look like it
HG>EV>is using a GUI, doesn't it?

HG>I don't know the Arachne so no comments on that.

Arachne is a DOS Browser that I have played with on my 486 box for a
while, just to see what it could do.
I used it with Dial Up.

A Search should tell You all about it if You are interested.
