Do *none* of your co-owners have the capability to receive and process NETDATA files? If so, add me as a co-owner, and I'll assist. >I've hesitated to suggest this approach because it seemed that MOVE >or EXPLODE ought to do it more easily, but this is what I would do: >1) Obtain the subscriber list with either GET or REVIEW. >REVIEW is better for this method because it does not have the stuff >at the end of the line--but you will have to take care of concealed >subscribers separately. Don't forget to handle 'NOMAIL' and 'NOFILE' and 'DIGEST' and 'selected-topic' subscribers correctly! The 'GET' command is the easiest way to retrieve *ALL* the information about each subscriber -- the 'REVIEW' command *omits* this information. It would be "bad" to change a 'NOMAIL-I'm-on-holidays' subscriber back to the 'MAIL' setting, without their knowledge, or consent.
