Dear Fellow List Owners, I have set up a specialized MAILTPL file for a list I own. 3 questions: 1) Following is the part of the file containing the logic for whether a message is sent to a new user about whether his name can be gleaned by someone doing a REVIEW. However, I have review= set to private and would like for the logic to prevent the insertion of the warning. I would also not like to just delete the insertion logic, since I may decide to make review= public in the future and would feel an obligation to warn subscribers at that time. .eb .bb CONCEAL not in &DEFOPT .se x = &KWD(REVIEW) .bb (&x ^= POSTMASTER) and (&x ^= OWNER) Please note that it may be possible for .bb &x = PUBLIC anybody .eb .bb &x ^= PUBLIC other people .eb to determine that you are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW" command, which returns the e-mail address and name of all the subscribers. If you do not want your name to be visible, just issue a "SET &LISTNAME CONCEAL" command. The list owners will always be able to tell that you are subscribed, however. 2) I could not find a departure message to modify to my specifications. The only ones I identified were for automatic unsubscriptions and owner-forced unsubscriptions. Did I miss it, or is the only way to have a FAREWELL message to say what I want when people decide to leave on their own? 3) What is the ^= in boolean logic? Many thanks. -- John Witherspoon American University Washington, DC
