|Do any of you who have experience with TOPICS have any advice about it.
|Pros, cons, things to watch out for?
See the attachment (or below). Other than the setup of this, the most
difficult part is having the posters use a proper topical area.
It takes 3 things to accomplish your task via Revised LISTSERV
techology:
1) list-owner has setup the list's TOPICS feature in the
definition (see example below)
2) you, the subscriber, have done a LISTSERV
SET listname TOPICS: -FWD
which only is effective for mail distributions, and not
for DIGEST/INDEX mailings
3) the sender uses a valid Subject: in their posting
SUBJECT: FWD: xxxxxxx
Here is an example syntax using HEPROC-L topics=
* Topics= HEJ,Con1,Con2,Con3,Con4,Con5,Con6,Con7,Con8,Con9
Notice that there is nothing magical about FWD and is not a valid
explicit topic for this list (thus it would be treated as the
reserved OTHER: topic).
