Michael, just as I expected, you have the solution.

I. The solution is:
  1. Just the opposite of what I was doing.
  2. NOT USE SPACES AT END OF LINE worked great with:
      a. imp
      b. yahoo
      c. gmail
      as clients

Thanks

PS. Hopefully the silly formating example above will even make it 
throught listserv.
