	First of all, use a mail tool that doesn't mangle what you are
	writing.  It looks like you mail tool has taken every reference
	to three w's dot cwplc.com and inserted a hyperlink.  This makes
	it very hard to know if this was your problem or just the stupid
	mail tool.

	Well this record should start with "@" not ".".  "@" says to
	use the current origin.  "." is the root domain.

	If you want us to find the error then the whole zone file
	would be useful.
