} Is it possible to change the list header via e-mail?
Yes, I am the primary listowner of a list that I administrate completely
via email.  The catch is that to do it safely you need to compile a
program called lb64 available from the tools filelist at searn and
probably a number of other sites.  To send a file with line lengths
longer than 80 columns you would type:
lb64 filename | mail listserfg_address
 
* LB64      (Program to mail jobs to LISTSERV from non-BITNET systems)  *
*                                                                       *
* LB64 is a program that allows  non-BITNET users (or BITNET users with *
* a poor man's RSCS emulator) to  safely mail files wider than 80 bytes *
* to LISTSERV  (for instance, LIST  or FILELIST files). The  program is *
* written in C  and designed for unixoid systems  where standard output *
* can be conveniently redirected to the  mail program, but it will work *
* on  any system  (even EBCDIC  ones). The  program contains  the usual *
* special  characters normally  encountered in  C code,  so it  may not *
* arrive in working  order if you are behind a  gateway. ANSI trigraphs *
* have not  been used since it  turned out that the  standard compilers *
* shipped with most popular brands  of unix workstations do not support *
* them, apparently because they have not understood that the trigraphed *
* characters are everyday letters in "foreign" languages.               *
*                                                                       *
*************************************************************************
