Ok, if I understand this correctly, Files= No is fine since no one ever
sends BITNET files to the list.  Correct?  The only files we're talking
about are those I install in the filelist.

Must there be some generic fn or ft or will double wildcards work?
(i.e.  AFD ADD * * AUTOCAT F=MAIL  so that every new file is sent, regardless
of fn ft)  We don't have generic fn nor ft, they are generally unique
for each file.
 
If double wildcards will work, does the subscriber have to be set Mail= Yes,
or will the files be sent regardless of the Mail=  option?
