For Laurie and other AOLers: It is best to subscribe to the digest. You get mail a tiny bit later than the regular bounce, but it takes up less space (bandwidth) in your mail box. Use flashsessions to download your mail. Go under MAIL, slide down to Activate FlashSession Now. Click the screen names that you want to do a flashsession for and let it rip. it will sign on and download your mail. Then when it closes the connection, click MAIL, slide down to Incoming Mail and read away... Compose your answers off line, Compose Mail, and then use a flashseeion to send the mail. I am very AOL and computer literate - I tutor in AOL's Acedemic Assistance Department and surf the net with an intensity verging on addiction. I would be glad to answer questions for all of you who are just learning, AOL or not...
