I'm shocked by the amount of people having problems signing up for the Yahoo
list. All I did was click on the link and a short time thereafter I received
a confirmation letter. I even used my regular email address. I'm willing to
give Yahoo a whirl. I'm in agreement with Richard Hurd, I have a Yahoo
account that I use occasionally and I have not received any Spam that was
not brought on my own actions.
-Good luck all

Jim,
After setting up my Yahoo id today I too tried to link and was unsuccessful.
So, I too strongly support DISA stepping up to the plate on this one and
sponsoring the new EDI-L list.
Rachel
An update to my Yahoo Group subscription experience I reported in a previous
posting:
The 'conversion' of my business email address succeeded behind the scenes,
apparently - i.e. I did not have to re-request 'conversion'. When I signed
in today - about 24 hours after first establishing a Yahoo ID, both emails -
my business email and Yahoo email - were available for 'linking' to Yahoo
groups. I was able to 'link' the EDI-L group to my business email address
and select the digest feature.
My conclusion:
I would still prefer a more 'interested' host - like DISA - but the Yahoo
alternative is fully featured.
My warning:
Your mileage may vary.
Regards,
