"I Click But Nothing Happens."

See this page.

I'm Having Trouble Receiving My Emails:

Our emails might have been filtered to your "Bulk" or "Junk" folder. The "fix" depends on the system you're using. Here are a few suggestions:

• Suggestion 1)
Right-click on the message (as it sits listed there with all your other messages), then select "Junk E-mail" and finally "Add sender to safe sender's list"

• Suggestion 2)
Try adding "horsemanship101.com" and/or "keithhosman.com" to your Address Book or Contact list. Sometimes you can accomplish this by simply forwarding the message to yourself.

• Suggestion 3)
If that still doesn't work, here's one more suggestion.

If subsequent messages continue to be filtered, e-mail me at and I'll see if I can help you.

AOL members please note: If you subscribe to AOL, there's an excellent chance that you're not receiving emails from friends, companies you do business with – and newsletters you've subscribed to such as ours. Please complete these simple steps to make sure you receive our emails.

• For AOL 7.0, include in the section, "exclusion and inclusion parameters," the two domains from which our email is sent: "horsemanship101.com" and "keithhosman.com"
• For AOL 8.0, choose "Allow mail from AOL Members and addresses listed"
• Type: "horsemanship101.com"
• Click "Add" (and also please add our second domain "keithhosman.com")

I Use BellSouth

Bell South will occasionally block our emails before they even get to you. Here's a note from a subscriber who figured out how to deal with this "blockage":

Bellsouth users can go to their AT&T home page and at the bottom there is a tab for Security.  Click the Security tab - it defines the AT&T Anti-Spam features, etc and will direct you to the http://webmail.bellsouth.net At that site log-on using your user id and password then at the bottom left of the page there is a "Options" block.   In that Options block click on "Manage Spam" and the 3 options below are displayed.  Apparently the "ON" option is the default option - Change it to "OFF."  After changing click "Save Settings" and log-off.   I then re-signed for the 101 course and within a minute or so received the e-mail providing the confirmation link then received the Day 1 e-mail immediately following my confirmation.

This fix seems to have solved my problem.  However, folks that don't have a good Security protection system and want to use Bellsouth's security filter might need to click "Review" in lieu of turning this feature totally off.   If the Review feature is used the e-mail would probably be filtered and saved in the Bellsouth Spam folder at the "webmail" site - not sure on this though.  Since I have McAfee on my computer and it manages Spam within my Outlook Junk Mail folder I didn't want the extra steps of going to their site to review Spam mail.
