Yeah - sorry.  After I'd posted I remembered that I was still waiting for a
'lost password' tech help reply from them - requested 12 months ago!  It
took an extensive search of all the saved 'Inboxes' I have lurking in
various back-up directories to find the original username/password e-mail
they sent me.  So NO - I can't recommend news.cis.dfn.de.
