    3. Yes, I use my Windows Mail (Vista) to download my att.net emails from the website to my hard drive, so that I don't have to be online all the time, to work on them. Normally it doesn't read On Behalf of_in fact, it only did that one or two times the whole time I have been a member of the list. So, I still don't understand why it did it, and that's okay. They are coming through to my Outlook (Windows Mail) okay now. Just needed to make sure I wasn't being deleted from the list. Thanks, again! :o) Lynn PS I didn't know Outlook was an Internet provider, too, I thought it was just something you could use on your hard drive, so that you could work offline on your emails, and organize them better_without leaving them out there on the Net.
