Thanks for the advice, lane. I never would have thought of that. I guess spammers/hackers can go anywhere they want nowadays.
I am guessing that I will need tor re-subscribe to those newsletters after I get the new account set up. I hope I don't have to ask for any more help, but my username isn't "noclue" for nothing!
Thank you everyone for helping me with this. I will let you know if it works.
