        Hmmm...and I continue to be amazed at how many times I can put my
foot in my mouth :-).  Sorry, Eric, if I've missed your (many?) announcements
that UNIX now has this capability.  I was told not long ago by someone whom
I thought very knowledgeable on this topic that UNIX did *not* have this.
Are you saying that I can send a message to the UNIX Listserv software that
asks for messages about topic A sent between such and such dates by Jane Doe?
(Or, rather, that I can receive an ANSWER to such a message :-) )
