And he's pissed off and confused that he was summarily dropped for no apparent reason, other than a momentary belch by his system (eskimo.com, FYI). I understand that the problem is in the recipients' systems, which are improperly configured in some fashion. I have seen several statements, by Eric and perhaps by others, that if I don't like this behavior under 1.8, I should it. But I have yet to see anything telling me WHAT TO CHANGE. I *want* to change my list's settings to stop this auto-deletion, but I don't want to try something that isn't right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- neal [log in to unmask] 412-624-0097 (office) [log in to unmask] 412-624-7397 (fax) Owner: [log in to unmask] "Baseball (and Lesser Sports) Discussion List"
