Holy freakin' crap! ...thanks, Glyn. Gawd, I thought I was never
going to find those variables ...well, actually I still haven't, but I
know what to look for now and it seems to work. I posted to a test
ng ok.

Thanks, I'll use these, too.

Again, thanks. Sometimes emacs documentation is so vast and emacs so
complex, one gets completely lost in it.

OK, I've set fetchmail up before when I used pine.

I'll need it. No, jes kidding ...I'm doing ok. I've finally reached
the point where I no longer need to use other apps while just
diddling around in emacs. I can stay in emacs for many of the things
I do. But, I still have lots to learn.
Again, thank you
