I've tried using the 'receive / notebook name' command that some of you suggested for being able to specify where a mail file sent to a list's editor should be saved. It works on my id, but when the list editor tries it, it keeps trying to receive the file into <'listname' mail a> even though he's specifying a totally different notebook name with the receive command. ex: receive / (notebook dmf and it tries to put it into 'acua-l mail' which already exists. any help would be greatly appreciated.
