 Yes, that works (I cut/paste your sample comments into the TEMP-L list
 and sent it to LISTSERV@JHUVM just to double check).  As long as the
 text you include after the keyword value doesn't look like another
 keyword assignment, it should be fine.  For example, something like,
 
 * Owner= [log in to unmask]      -> Bruce= our list's founder
 * Owner= [log in to unmask]  -> Richard= the owner-on-call this week
 * Owner= [log in to unmask]    -> Steve= this week's backup owner
 
 would cause LISTSERV think you thought there were list header keywords
 called "Bruce", "Richard", and "Steve".  And it would complain. :)
 Since unknown keywords are considered "warning" level errors, the list
 would be updatted anyway.  Now if one of your co-owners was named
 "Notebook" or some such, you could wind up making a mess of things.
 But, things like that aside, you can put whatever comments you find
 useful after the value.
