To All: Please disregard an email indicating that I am receiving emails in a hotmail account from now on . That was hotmail doing one of their things when i was trying to backup my emails into hotmail. I had to close the account in HOTMAIL just to stop what they were doing. Lessons learned: if you ever use HOTMAIL to backup your email data from GMAIL be aware that HOTMAIL will send a message to all your contacts, including those emails that you reply to and that they are not in your contact list, indicating that your email address has changed to their system. Sorry for this. I am still with gmail. Gracias. -ed -- NOTICE: The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
