I'm using a DB to get my people to send they email, in >different format (HTML , TEXT) and I want to put AOL later.THx The problem is that this command all has to be on one line: >DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE PW=gabouer DBMS=YES(EMAIL=SenderAddress) >[log in to unmask] It sounds like it is being split onto two separate lines: >DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE PW=gabouer and >DBMS=YES(EMAIL=SenderAddress) [log in to unmask] which LISTSERV then tries to interpret as two separate commands. You can use the 'continuation card' syntax described at the beginning of Chapter 6 of the Site Manager's Manual to get around this problem: // DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE PW=xxxxxx , DBMS=YES(EMAIL=... etc ... The '//' and ',' on the first line tell LISTSERV to consider the second line a continuation of the first. Both the space after the '//' and the space before the final ',' on the first line are required for this to work. -- Jacob Haller, Technical Support, L-Soft international, Inc LISTSERV (R) is a registered trademark of L-Soft.
