Yes, that works (I cut/paste your sample comments into the TEMP-L list
and sent it to LISTSERV@JHUVM just to double check). As long as the
text you include after the keyword value doesn't look like another
keyword assignment, it should be fine. For example, something like,
* Owner= [log in to unmask] -> Bruce= our list's founder
* Owner= [log in to unmask] -> Richard= the owner-on-call this week
* Owner= [log in to unmask] -> Steve= this week's backup owner
would cause LISTSERV think you thought there were list header keywords
called "Bruce", "Richard", and "Steve". And it would complain. :)
Since unknown keywords are considered "warning" level errors, the list
would be updatted anyway. Now if one of your co-owners was named
"Notebook" or some such, you could wind up making a mess of things.
But, things like that aside, you can put whatever comments you find
useful after the value.
