Dear Douglas and LSTOWN Folks,
If I understand what Douglas is saying, it is well motivated and
at least partially incorrect:
>You cannot determine who is or is not CONCEAL with a REV,
>only the *number* of them, if any. That is why I ignored what
>you said about identifying CONCEALed subscribers with a REV;
>REV does not show the subscription status.
Not So
As Francoise Becker <[log in to unmask]> already
mentioned in this thread,
>Note that if you use the (ALL qualifier on your REVIEW command,
>then you will see all subscribers, even the CONCEALed ones.
\...\
>For example:
>REVIEW listname (ALL NOH
>
>It even points out which ones are concealed.
>
>If you want to get ONLY the addresses that are concealed, you
>have to use the QUERY command as has already been pointed
>out.
The results of REVIEW (ALL NOH command look ordinary, except that
all concealed members show up like this:
********@AOL.COM Firstname J Lastname [concealed]
As Douglas notes, the total number of concealed members is also
shown at the end of the REVIEW results:
* Total number of "concealed" subscribers: 1
* Total number of users subscribed to the list: 253
* Total number of countries represented: 16
How Come They Aren't Concealed?
Of course, if the subscriber uses "concealed" or even "[concealed]"
as their registered name with LISTSERV, that, in-and-of-itself
will not make that account concealed. (right?)
LISTSERV doesn't seem to mind having "[concealed]" at the
end of a registered name"
