The space behind the comma *does* matter. If there is a space after a comma,
everything after the space will be treated as a comment and ignored by LISTSERV.
Example 1:
* Filter= Also,[log in to unmask]
Example 2:
* Filter= Also, [log in to unmask]
The Filter= statement in example 1 will add [log in to unmask] to the list of
addresses which are filtered by LISTSERV. The Filter= statement in example 2
will add nothing to the list of addresses which are filtered by LISTSERV.
I see this error from time to time, usually in a list header which a novice
list owner has attempted to make more readable by inserting a space after
every comma in every keyword. Shortly after completing these apparently
cosmetic changes, the list owner will contact the Help Desk or Messaging
Services to find out why his/her list is no longer working properly.
