Mr Walters; The message prepended to moderated messages is not entirely truthful: LISTSERV depends on your mail program adding "Resent-" headers to the message. It uses this as a signal to remove the note. The problem is the use of the word "reply"; Pine and Elm, two common mail programs used on UNIX systems, do not, in fact, add the required headings; instead, one needs to use the "bounce" command. I don't know what mail reader you are using, but I would advise you to check the online documentation, and if that doesn't bring the desired result, check with your Internet provider. Incidentally, if you DO use Pine, you need to turn "bounce" on through the program options. Good luck. Bil -- W.
