The distinction between subscriber/nonsubscriber with password does not actually exist in the case at hand. He changed the notebook to Public, and thus the list archive is no longer Private, therefore the reference to subscribers loses all meaning. The unmasking of addresses applies to anyone who has logged in to that site, regardless of subscriber status. If the notebook is Private, then only logged in subscribers can see the archive at all and they will never see the masked form of addresses. If the notebook is Public, then anyone who has logged in to that site will see un-masked addresses, subscriber or not. >>> [log in to unmask] 6/21/2006 7:21:15 PM >>> On Wed, 21 Jun 2006, Kevin Parris wrote: > To be excruciatingly precise, one does not login to the archive.

Yes, I have known for at least 16 years that LISTSERV passwords of this type are host site specific, not list specific. That, though, does not change what Russ Hunt said: > I had to put "public" in the line -- and after that, the addresses > were masked (except to subscribers with a password). Which is what I > wanted. N.B. He says "subscribers with a password". He does not say nonsubscribers with passwords. "Subscribers with passwords" = private list. Douglas Winship [log in to unmask]
