Thanks! The query got the names, although not as a simple list. I was
able to extract the emails from all the extraneous information using MS
Word. Once I found the right search settings and wildcards, it was
fairly simple.

Subject: Re: [LSTOWN-L] Send mail to some users on list.

There have been many times that I wish I could directly email all the 
subscribers on my list, or all those set to nomail, or all those
subscribed with 
AOL, or with Yahoo, etc., but there is no ideal easy way.  It would be a
great 
direction for future development of Listserv software.

Because I need to read email from various location, I use an ISP that
allows me 
to read mail on its Unix server, for which I use Pine software.  For any
email, 
Pine allows one to take any or all emails within the message.  So it's
fairly 
easy for me to issue the appropriate command (e.g. Q LISTNAME WITH
DIGEST FOR 
*@*) to get a list of the people I want to contact.  Once that list has
been 
received, Pine can just "take" the addresses and insert it into the
address 
field of a new email.

If you don't have that kind of software, you can still send the command,
and 
then copy all the names to a text document, separate each one with a
comma and 
space, and then paste that list into the address field of your email
message (or 
whatever syntax your software requires for multiple addresses).

Hope this helps.
