Yep ... I get anyone's mail who tries to use the miz.elly addy without a dot. I was told it was because I had the addy first (with the dot) Yahoo knows about this now and they don't seem to be inclined to change anything about the dot issue.

Ken,
Well I don't want to start trading insults, but I am somewhat dismayed
by the cavalier attitude to standards being displayed by some
participants of this thread.
I've cited the relevant standard. If you think there is some standard
being subverted, please cite it.
there has most certainly been a problem with the use or not of a dot
in the user part of the email address (i.e. before the @).
In Merle's case the dot was a factor. The two different spellings of
Merle's Gmail address (with and without dot) were entered into Groups.io
which created two separate accounts for them. Merle was ultimately able
to resolve the issue by logging in using the alternate spelling and
making corrections.
In Ellen's case the problem was a typo. The dot was not a factor because
the same result would have occurred with or without it.
