(There isn't a yearly mailbox maintenance fee like those who sell | mail exclusively, now, is there?) If there isn't, what was all the discussion in comp.misc (I believe) that they were now charging a $1.50/mo for something or another (a mailing as I recall). If they are billing you monthly and you're paying, how can they claim your account was inactive? You have the receipts to show you paid. Assuming that there is a monthly fee, regardless of the size, If it were me I think I'd have my lawyer send them a letter asking politely that the service for which payment has been made be reinstated, and gently waiving the possibility of a lawsuit. bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
