Payola (UNCLASSIFIED [I guess!]) (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Mullins, Bill AMRDEC]

Classification:  UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

I wasn't as clear or specific as I should have been.  If I post from the
Outlook
web-based client that has been set up for my Army email account, I get
the problems
below.

I don't have a Gmail account, but there is some sensitivity here to
using any web-based
service that lets you store documents off-site (as Gmail would store
emails).  I can't,
for example, get to the Flickr website, youtube, Google documents, or
any of a dozen
other such websites.  They are all blocked by a network filter.

But I can check to see if Gmail, yahoo mail, or any of the others is
unblocked, and move my
account to there.
