Not only is MCI going to charge $35 per year for a mailbox, but in my
bill insert there was also a line saying:

"Letterhead and Signature Graphics:   $30.00/Year"

Signature and graphics used to be FREE...one would pay a $20
registration fee and have no annual "storage" charges for this
service.

MCI claims that "...[T]he changes in pricing are a response to higher
costs and MCI's efforts to unify pricing while continuing to provide
customers with the highest quality communications services."   
                          (^^^^^^^ = priced?! )

Hmmm ... I guess the costs for storing my signature and letterhead
must have gone up dramatically, no? ;-)

$65/year is way too high to pay for this service ... do any of the
other E-mail providers out there allow users to store and print
letterheads/sigs. on paper and/or fax letters?
