Yes ... as long as the site is under your control or whoever controls it lets
you.  Thank you for clarifying; that is rather different from what I thought
you meant (which was also true).

Of course; that is a good example of a way we can help one another out in
addition to answering one another's questions.  I asked a bigger favor on
this very list this past spring and another member offered the service (which
I will need for the last time later this month).

Hmm.  I'll try it from here.  When my problem with a member who forwarded
to a bad Prodigy address occurred, I had no plus addressing available, but
I do now.

Results to follow.
