Though I am not a listserv maintainer, I doubt it: the one, is a Note
which is an acknowlegement, either positive or negtative. The other,
if it is actually sent, is the FILE itself.
As a matter of fact, since multiple files can have the same FN/FT,
I have previously asked ERIC to send an indication in the ack Note
from WHICH filelist it was retrieved. (I've had problems with this
in the past).
