I am still using Pan 0.14.2 on a Win XP Home computer.  Under
"Tools">>>>"Posting Profiles"  I put my Verizon User Id which is
resXXXXX and my Verizon password.  Under "Tools">>>>"Posting Profiles"
I enter my munged address as "address@hidden" which if
you change "gmen" to the obvious and change "invalid" to the obvious
your mail will get to me but not at my Verizon address.

Is that clear?
