Well - this one came through, although I just got it today (11/4), even  
though you apparently sent it 11/1).  I assume that means you got it  
figured out?

I'm also using Balsa, with smtp.att.yahoo.com:smtp as the outgoing  
server, and Use TLS set to "If Possible" so it's clearly possible.   
However - are you sure you mean smtp.att.yahoo.net, and not .com?
