Oh wow! I thought you had to create the account, before you could
forward.
I suppose the one drawback is that it doesn't allow them to send out
the occasional email from "joe at my_great_domain.com " they have to
send from their joe at aol.com or joe at gmail.com or whatever.
oh well ...thanks very much for the quick response!
