Perhaps the problem is not at Harvard after all, and perhaps your (possibly wrong) assertion was made in such a way as to irk the postmaster(s) you sent the reports to. The sample mail file you included proves nothing but that the missing line got dropped before or when it reached the mailer daemon at HARVARD.BITNET. On its own showing, the message had passed through BUACCA along the way, presumably via LISTSERV@BUACCA and [log in to unmask] Did you take any steps to eliminate both of those as possible culprits? If you managed to eliminate them, then you should restate the problem in more succinct form and send the report to the postmaster(s) again. If you tried but failed, then you should restate the problem and report it instead to the postmaster at BUACCA. If you didn't even try, then it's not really surprising that you got ignored. John
