I guess I will just use some public chatroom site, one that will allow me to create my own chat room. But, what I wanted to do was - get notified when my aunt, but only my aunt, e-mails me - so I can respond while she is on-line. Since I get lots of mail (from the list, etc), I don't want to be notified for every message I get. Maybe, I will just settle for planned dates and times we set, and open a chat room somewhere out there in cyberspace. Thanks.
