Could there be any way for the editor to send a bulk file of all messages
instead of each one individually. For example if he has received 20 messages to
the list, would it not be more convenient to prepare a big file with all
messages and then send them? It would be then LISTSERV's responsibility
to extract the individual messages.
Or am I asking for way too much?
BTW, My list is not Edited so I'm just asking out of curiosity.
