Not a bad Idea, Onno, except that this is the main userid - ie the one you
can use to check out your download limits etc, and administer your mail
id's. For this reason I haven't used it for any mail except one brief test
to my wife in February. I get the Westnet newsletter on it, but that's
about it. Now I've got 2 bounced spams in the same week, and I wonder
whether someone else at Westnet has got the same id.

Very irritating, especially since I tried to keep it "pure".
