Karen,

   I ran email on my local machine about twenty years ago.  I stopped
at the time because a number of people I communicated with were sitting
behind firewalls that excluded home email servers.  I cannot access my
personal website from work because that is considered dangerous.  I
have a gmail account, and I can no longer download by popmail.  

   Handy tip folks -- Start your emails with a line feed at the top of
the page.  This will separate your content from the blurb corporate
email servers will attach warning your recipients how evil and
dangerous you are. 

   I am considering taking out a URL for my website.  If I contract
with a service that provide email, I should be able to download that
through popmail, right?
