You're so right! I had no idea there were so many options! Thanks for this idea here and all the others I've just read.

I was away at a funeral on Saturday and came home to fine my site migration
had finally taken place, but none of my forms are working. I've got to switch
gears tonight and get a newsletter done that has to go to the printers this
week, so it will probably be tomorrow night before I get to try out any of
these suggestions, but I'll be happy to report which ones work for me.

By the way, my Pegasus doesn't like logins with @ in them, so I'm breaking
myself in to Mozzila Thunderbird today. Right now I 'think' can receive from all my domain addresses at the new location.

Thanks again everyone! something is bound to get me going now! :)
