gmail hates me

I'm thinking that gmail simply blocks all mail from those with hotmail addresses. Every gmail message has been returned. So someone who has a gmail will have to handle requests from those people. Sorry.

Would you like a gmail account?

I had the same experience. I have a gmail account. If you would like me to forward stuff to people (I assume you're talking about the ARS stuff?), send me the addresses to send it to.

Back in the Saddle,

Can you send it to me at:

and/or

[email protected]?

Nevadaref sent it but I cannot open it.

Thanks!

It's a WinHelp file. So you won't be able to open it on your Mac, Amiga or TRS-80. Sorry

It appears that gmail will not allow "exectuable attachments" to be received or sent. My Yahoo! account will, however. So those of you with hotmail or gmail might want to get a Yahoo! account.

THe win help file is blocked by Gmail, hotmail and Microsoft outlook.

The way I got it, was I had my mail server set to quaranteen anything from a certain incoming address, and downloaded it off my mail server before it got blocked by outlook. It worked.

Wow! I need to check my gigathings but I think that if I tried something like that my modem would melt and I would maybe launch the space shuttle. It would probably cost another $200 to have the computer guy come and fix it again.

I've got a system here that I'm using to read of.com.

Will the WinHelp file work on it?

It says Altair. I think that's the name of the guy that owned it before me.
