You get better email access with Compuserve, MCI Mail, or any other
commercial email system than Prodigy. Also the other services do not
read your email. PRODIGY AUTOMATICALLY READS ALL EMAIL SENT THROUGH IT.
Messages flagged by their filter program as having questionable words
are then reviewed by a underpaid and overworked menial laborer.
IF THEY DECIDE YOUR EMAIL IS UNSUITABLE FOR PRODIGY'S IMAGE, IT
IS NOT SENT.
