one, but every time I've seen the name it has only one Z, as in Amy.

Well, thanks to Yahoo, you have answered a different quest
ion to the one I asked, but it was in my mind: if you type an 
emailname-at-domain name in a message, does Yahoo automatically turn

for the Andromeda Galaxy?  The answer appears to be 'Yes'.

Catherine: Condoleeza Rice is National Security Adviser, or is that 
Advisor, to GWB.
