My two lists are hosted on a 1.8c VM server and I'm curious why the following happens: 1). subscription requests with additional letters tacked onto the list name succeed, i.e. 'subscribe HIGHLA-LA John Q. Public' or 'subscribe HIGHLA-L-DIGEST John Q. Public' when the listname is actually HIGHLA-L? 2). why this incorrectly spelled listname is included in the subscription notifications that I receive "John Q. Public <[log in to unmask]> has just subscribed to the HIGHLA-L-DIGEST list"? -Debbie Douglass .---------------------------------------------------------------------. | No flames were thrown in the creation of this email message. | |--------------------------------.------------------------------------| [log in to unmask] \ May your sword always be within | |Systems Administrator \ reach and may your Foe's skill | |GTE Government Systems, Needham, MA\ and luck be less than your own.| `------------------------------------`--------------------------------'
