I used that for a list I once ran. Now, that might work. If their address isn't replyable, they would never get the message to respond to.....only downside, is that you may get nasty-grams later of 'why didn't you add me'. :) That is one to look into, as it seems the best option so far. Nathan, I looked into your suggestion, and unless I am confused, wouldn't the template you mention go to the owner, and not the subscriber? (Sorry I can't grab my manual, I am moving and it has been packed already) Thanx for all the help so far. .------------------------------. ,------------------------------------. | Pauline M.
