One of my subscribers just made me a ware of a problem relating to getting list messages via the indexed version of the list. Apparently when he tries to forward the index post back to the listserver, his revisions to the "print" statement are ignored. It appears to be a function of the aol system.

I did some more experimenting and found out what I was doing wrong. Sorry to have wasted your time. You may be interested, however, that the instructions at the bottem of each index page are not useful to members of America Online. My solution was to copy the desired items to a fresh "Compose Mail" window and address it to anthro-l-search-request. AOL users should NOT use the Forward button, because it is impossible to cut stuff online. For the same reason, it is impossible to add stuff after the "print" message. These operations would be possible by going offline then back on, but that procedure would be cumbersome, to say the least. Hope these suggestions are helpful. Till next time, Tom
