- Exactly. Genie offers unlimited off-hours e-mail as part of basic services
- (and their idea of off-hours is very liberal - today through January 3rd is
- considered off-hours 24 hours a day -- like a l o n g weekend). As
- long as you restrict your activities to areas marked with asterisks on the
- Genie menu there is no charge beyond the $4.95 monthly charge. The best way
- to send e-mail to a Genie account is to get a Genie account. It can be cheaper
- than accessing Genie's internet area for that purpose.
