   Hi Tracy,   
      
   I set up an extra Hotmail account for the times when   
   my other email accounts are 'down' (not very often!).   
      
   The service is far better now than it used to be, and I   
   get NO junkmail or infected messages at all!   
      
   I will catch up with things soon - lots of overtime this   
   week, so not much spare time for 'stamping' yet!   
      
   David.
