Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 That's strange, I too always wondered what this 'type it without the space' stuff was for emails. I see on this email (the original is below) that the email address was only partial, but when I read the actual email sent, I got the whole email address. I don't think it's Yahoo, or I wouldn't have gotten the whole address. Bizarre. Curious, I wonder why??
