I really could use this capability. The topics feature is very handy and
makes listserv a superior product. But I cannot monitor who has
specified what topic; if they are set correctly. If you use a large
number of set topics commands, you have no way of knowing if you are
introducing tons or error into your list. QUERY WITH does not work with
topics. I cannot decode the characters at the end of a GET record. This
is a giant hole in listserv capability.
Thanks,
