Hello,
AT&T WorldNet provides an alternate web site for support called
the WorldNet User's Reference Desk at
which gives information about how to access services like email
using a variety of clients such as Outlook, Eudora, Netscape Mail
and so forth.
While the site is geared towards supporting AT&T WorldNet customers
there is a lot of general information for configuring applications,
troubleshooting connectivity problems, and so forth.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

And Pegasus uses that insane encoding, but anyway, I don't know how to set
up my AT&T account with anything but Outlook.
