Re: lynx-dev Anyone know of a compatible email service?

Dear Mr. Hall,

Thank you very much for your response!  MailCity is run by Lycos, as is
EudoraMail (which has almost exactly the same interface).  I was not able
to get HotMail to work with dial-up Lynx.

MailCity is more mainstream, so this is the best tip I have received yet!
