Thank you Gilles for the information. I certainly appreciate your
reply.

However, I decided to go ahead and try the header setting before I
received your reply and find that listserv WILL put the list name in
the subject line, even if you do not have a subject-tag line in the
list header.

My list has no subject tag line and it is putting in the subject line,
the list name  within  brackets, and then the subject. As so:

        [lstown-l] this posts subject.

Thank you again for your information and reply.
