In Gabon, Africa I knew of one oil service company who an actual account named "bribes & extortion". Unsurprisingly it was Haliburton. (Cheney's last boss before he became VP).
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Did you get my e-mail, bonny?

Ginger, I got your email yesterday at 5:30 and responded with the font attachment and comments.
Did you not get that?
eta: my system tells me I sent the message about a half hour after I received yours yesterday. Could it have gone into your spam filter due to the attachment?
In any case, I just resent it. Please let me know when you get it.

Resolution!
Sorry for the delay, Ginger. I really did respond right away.
I'm so disgruntled with my email. It feels like some karmic payback or something. I'm old enough to have lived through an amazing technological time in human history and yet, my email blows consistency-wise.

Gmail. I know some of their policies blow. But their email works.

I may need to switch because I'm thinking of moving to a local carrier and bagging both comcast and verizon.
I have had the same web-based email account via onebox for the last 12 years. I ought to just use it. Unfortunately, the address isn't a good one...my old name...that cannot be changed without canceling the account and getting a new one. It has a fantastic spam filter, but it is not as easy to use as the comcast web mail.
Then again, ease of sporadic use is not really, truly easy.

gmail has a terrific spam filter, unless you are ita and get lots of legit email about scantily dressed wet men.

BTW, if you like onebox, but not your user name, are you sure you can't add a second mail box with any name you like?

I asked about 4 years ago, when I went back to my original name, and they said I would have to buy a whole new account. I've been using the onebox account for all my business stuff for so long, it would be a massive pain to change it, but I don't want to pay twice.
My one work around is having my two business accounts point to onebox _and_ the comcast account. That way, I get redundancy on incoming messages, but I can't get the onebox to mask the outgoing address with the new business address.
I dont' think, anyway. Hm. Maybe I should check that.
