Nope, it never did.

So I was told by SBC Internet Services . . . except that I think some message traffic
in either direction simply disappeared. I know that I saw a lot of errors, slow / No
response, and long timeouts trying to send. This is intermittent, and was still
evident as recently as yesterday. I had to wait two days to get some email out to
Ray. (I wonder if it might have worked if I had tried Dial-Up service ?) Of course,
it's hard to know if this is really MyDoom or just the creaky old Pac Bell mail
servers, which I'm stuck with because I refuse to move to their SBC - Yahoo service
(a.k.a. -- "Surf-Tracking & Targeted Advertising Central". Not to mention a choking
dose of Windoze.). I'm hoping the outcome of that recent class action lawsuit will
give us our promised 2 or 3 months of free DSL **before** they finally pull the plug
on anyone still using the prior service.

No, there's nothing there; the Digest editions don't work that way. This would be no
big deal if the Help List Archives were being kept up to date, but, even after the
last updating, they still stop after last Sept.
