I then went and created an addy with Ntl-world (my ISP, well until Thursday) and it worked fine.

I'm moving to Bulldog this week, and they don't offer free e-mail addys you have to buy them in a pack with web-space and stuff, so I thought that I'd sign up with Virgin for a PAYG account for the e-mail addy and get a back up dial-up account into the bargain.

As a bonus their News group servers were accessible over my Ntl BB account so I can now get access to some of the newsgroups I used to read without having to use Google.

All in all, well done Dicky
