thanks larry. for a while i thought the discussion email address i was using was bogus. why? because gmail does not post mail to the std "inbox" from plug mail. when i send the email, it puts a copy on the "send" box. i can see that email was sent, but it never showed up in "inbox" coming from the plug. maybe it is a function of the list mail software to broadcast to list but not to sender (in initial post). if i manage to fix my printer problem, i will post the solution and all is gory details. david ps i went to the plug web site and found all the posts. sorry gals-guys for not thinking of this earlier.
