Note - If you get this message more than you should have, I apologize.  I am 
routing all my Charter mail through GMAIL now and sending from GMAIL through my 
Charter Account is messing up.  It works sometimes and other times it won't.  I 
may have to change my subscription for TN and Bristol Birds to GMAIL because it 
is 100% better.
