OK! I often say that, too, only to find out later that it was me!
However, NOW it's NOT ME! Trust me on this one! Using the iptrace and
ipformat facilities I can see what Netscape is doing. This is what's
happening:

1. My user ID has an "@" symbol in it

2. Netscape, however, truncates my user ID at the "@" and sends out
only the first portion to the sbcglobal.net Incoming E-Mail server

3. It sends out the correct password

4. The server of course responds that the password/ID is wrong

When I send mail out through Netscape, it does not do that! Therefore, I
can send mail without any problems
