Ed, thanks for your help, though all I needed was technical info. Here are some responses. >OUCH! Did the subscribers have any say in this? I would be pretty upset if I >was forced to get email all day long when I had specifically asked to be >getting one message a day. Of course I put this to the list before doing it. >So, now everyone must receive all messages as they arrive throughout the day >that do not have a valid Topic on them AND they cannot reset their >subscriptions to DIGest. Are your subscribers schoolchildren? I don't think you're getting what we've done. We're USING the "other" topic to distribute normal list mail. Topic mail is the exception which is why I came up with unique prefixes. You couldn't know our list, so why automatically assume something's wrong? We don't do general discussion. 99% of our normal messages are prefixed by sub: or crit: or talk: so it was easy to use "other" to deliver them to everyone. >ALL does *not* include OTHER. Uh oh! Thanks for telling me that. >By "labelled" I assume you mean "with a Subject: line of". Messages sent to >SCLAB TALK: would not be detected as intended for the SCLAB topic. Those >with SCLAB: (or S: or SC: etc) sure look like they should go to those with >their Topic set to SCLAB and I have no answer for that problem if you have >done all that you said. I rechecked and it's the SCLAB TALK that wasn't working, like you said. Thanks. >Do you have any reason to believe this is related to "Topics"? No reason, except that it happened right after I set her topics. I think I've got it now. Thanks, Ed, and don't worry about my list members. They're fully informed, always able to comment before changes are made and (so far, except for 1 out of 87) happy. Jilla
