I'm assuming "mail" means "1) RFC822 content, >filetype MAIL; or 2) IBM NOTE or PROFS content, filetype NOTE" >(that's LISTSERV's definition, roughly), and "file" means "a spool >file" (as opposed to "not MAIL", as LISTSERV uses the term). > > Spool files don't "come from an RSCS", they come from a user. >LISTSERV will apply it's "mailness" test to anything sent to a list. >If it passes (filetype = MAIL or NOTE), then it's sent as mail, >otherwise the file is sent, intact and unedited, by DISTRIBUTE >(regardless of the setting of Mail-Via). > Ok, When listserv receives a file for one of its distribution lists and sees that file as being mail (in NETDATA format). I do not get the "cut here" format you are speaking of. Is this better? /mrg
