This question and answer came at just the right time. Our upper management is a bit unsure about how our 'audience' will deal with this new-fangled technology. <grin>. My followup question is... is there any size limitation on the text that we can add to the Confirmation message? I'm looking at about 6 pages (wordprocessing) of legaleze. (I know what everyone's thinking and I've expressed that up the line). Will this size message be a problem to Listserv? (never mind the effect on the subscribers).
