I would like the DISTRIBUTE notification be mail by option. Message is fine for any non-critical distributions of informational items. But for those of us who distribute EXEC's and MODULE's with it (me with Relay and Eric with LISTSERV) you don't want people to take a shipment 'as is' unless they KNOW it came from the author; otherwise any turkey could ship any garbage to you as a legitimate code distribution and they could feasibly do some damage. /Jeff/
