- No, there is no surcharge on email, though there is a storage limit. I'm
- not sure what happens if you exceed the storage limit...probably old mail
- will get overwritten.
-
- As for why people don't respond, there may be problems with the gateway
- itself at times. If you don't hear back from the person, try again or
- BCC to a friend on AOL that you can reach on the internet to verify that
- the mail does get there.

-
- AOL screen names only contain letters, numbers, and spaces. The spaces
- actually aren't required, and the names are case-insensitive. I believe
- Mr Leffler's AOL screen name is DaveL32 (no ".")...should be listed in his
- documentation for "ShowMe!"
