TSGL: Solve this one, if you can!

[edLynn]

H. Davis -

The reason that I am using Gmail for the list is because I was having that 
difficulty with two other addresses, and Mike Cermack suggested a web based 
address and using the web based interface. This worked all around. I 
received the mail and so did the list,  but I could not use OE as a sending 
client and see ny  posts. I would have to read it in OE, close it, open 
Gmail, and reply. Much too cumbersome.
