     I'm afraid I'm not making myself clear  :-)  I know that both owners
and users can use
 
          REView listname (SHORT
 
but my point is that it would be nice to have a simpler command available
*especially* for ListServ *users* that would enable them to quickly and
brainlessly retrieve the names(s) and address(es) of the list(s) they were
having trouble with.
 
     REView ... (SHORT is fine for ListServ maintainers, listowners and
*experienced* users, but many of our users aren't up to figuring out a
header (as simple as headers may appear to us), and can't deal with files
vs e-mail (which is how they might receive the header, based on their site's
profile).  Why not give them a quick and easy way of finding out who they
need to contact *without* giving them the whole header or list?

     Pure listowner curiosity, unrelated to error messages, mail bounces,
etc.  :-)  Again, I'm just looking for a cleaner, quicker, automated way
of doing it by adding a (CONCEAL option to the REView command
