I do exactly that using Newsguy <http://newsguy.com>. It's worked perfectly for me for more than a decade. Yes, it costs money (not much). That's an *advantage*. It means that you are a customer with a contract. With Newsguy you can email customer service and get a response from a human being within hours. Try that with Gmail. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
