[Electronics-talk] Electronics-talk Digest, Vol 104, Issue 10

Fri Dec 12 03:04:53 UTC 2014

Hello, everyone:

Still exploring the best way to make my email easier to handle;
considering Windows LiveMail. Thanks for all your input.

Now to another question: recently, I tried to sign up at Reverbnation,
so that I could hear a local band's music. First problem (of course),
a non-audio captia! I wanted to email them using their automatic
Outlook message area in the Contact Us section of the site, but when
the message was complete, couldn't find the Send button; using alt-s
didn't work, either. Has anyone had experience with Reverbnation? Any
advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sandra
