[Leaplist] email accounts

[Jim Hartley]

I didn't want to get stuck in that kind of a mess, and I decided that a 
fee of $19.95 per year was well worth it. I went to mail.com and picked 
something I liked (they have a LOT of choices), namely 
"linuxjim at programmer.net". Then I signed up for their premium service 
which includes e-mail forwarding. Normally I forward to my ISP 
(roadrunner) account, but when I go up to visit my daughter I switch it 
to a yahoo account that I can get to on her machine. And if I ever 
change ISPs that will be no problem either.

The only drawback is that the "From" on sent e-mail may change, but 
that's what "Reply-To" is for, right?
