The IETFHDR subscription option sounds like it is what you're looking for. Searching the LSTSRV-L and LSTOWN-L archives for IETFHDR should turn up some previous discussions of this subscription option. >Why is it that in a message sent to a list with multiple entries in >the 'To:' comes across to list members as only being sent to the >list? Often it is problematic for people not subscribed to a list to be involved in list discussion -- they won't have a way to 'unsubscribe' from the discussion the way standard list subscribers can and they may not even be allowed to post to the list depending on how it's set up. -- Jacob Haller, Technical Support, L-Soft international, Inc LISTSERV (R) is a registered trademark of L-Soft.
