Though I am not a listserv maintainer, I doubt it: the one, is a Note which is an acknowlegement, either positive or negtative. The other, if it is actually sent, is the FILE itself. As a matter of fact, since multiple files can have the same FN/FT, I have previously asked ERIC to send an indication in the ack Note from WHICH filelist it was retrieved. (I've had problems with this in the past). /Pete
