I was frustrated because Yahoo purged my e-mail one time too many ... and tested out Live's e-mail.

I absolutely HATE it for sending out newsletters because:

a) It made me send my e-mails in batches and its limits are arbitrary ... 50 people in Group 1 got it, but with group 2, they said I could now only send to 10 at a time. And copying and pasting the address was really bad.

b) One of my customers complained that they could not see the images in the outlet e-mall.

So I am going back to Yahoo unless anyone can convince me that there are changes I can make to make me like live.
 
Have you tried the "new" Yahoo? I believe that one eliminates the blue line when you forward....

I really hate the new Yahoo more ... and I don't want to tempt fate by making too many changes. I can live with the line.
 
I use Yahoo and have never gotten a blue line when I forward....
