Yes, you're great - thanks!

obviously the offending part is something I copied from the original
suse-linux site-lisp.el. I will investigate that part but so far I
just could find some bracing macros for latex, auctex, and some basic
setup.
How can it be that this causes problems with my strato account but not
with gmx and .mac?

thanks a lot for your help and input
