Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: this yahoo id really sucks

Hi Larry,

I don't know if this is of any use to you - it may be to others - but I had
a bit of trouble 'converting' at first until, with a clue from Smoke's
posting a few days ago, I sorted it. Smoke advised that you hit the
'convert' option on the Yahoo groups page and then, in the 'user name' box,
just put the first part of your email address (Ivanduyn in your case). This
didn't work for me as my email address is in a slightly different format
ian@... , however, I found that it responded OK to the user
name iw63 - the bit that actually defines my account with freeserve.
HTH
