In the List Header:
* DEFAULT-OPTIONS= NOMAIL (sets all new subscribers to NOMAIL)
Send a separate command:
QUIET SET listname NOMAIL FOR *@*
(sets all current subscribers to NOMAIL)
Add the List Address as a Subscsriber:
QUIET ADD listname [log in to unmask]
List Header has 'normal' Notebook archives:
Notebook= Yes, e:\listplex\peach\lists\lstown-l,monthly,public
Post a message to the list
//20030129-A JOB
// DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE [log in to unmask] ,
DBMS=LIST(listname,NOMAIL) PW=???????
//TO DD "1=1"
//DATA DD *,EOF
Date: &*date;
From: [log in to unmask]
Subject: Announcement #1
To: &*to;
This is a short announcement message.
-------------
The message will appear in the regular list archives.
Note that mail-merge REQUIRES the use of L-Soft's LSMTP mailer.
