Jonathan Hi!

On access to the www.passport.com site I saw that if you
don't access your email it will de-register itself in 30-
90 days. So you are right - no way do I really want
to 'kill it' as I had to wait years to get this email
addy! The downside is I still get some of this other
blokes email, SPAM & JUNK email but that issue can be
addressed & eliminated gradual & daily basis.

However, this deluded individual 'emilystrange@koko.com'
has me confused up with a previous user & like a stray
cat I just refuse to feed her!! Regrettably, I cannot
take up your suggestion to add it to the "BLOCK" list
because I know from previous experience then it will sit
there for years in LIMBO LAND because her email addy is
now non-functional.

Hopefully, you Jonathan - can use your powers-of-
persuasion to get the MSN Messenger programmers to see
the light of day to make V.7.xx a lot more user-
friendly...
