Hi. Actually, I have a separate list for errors and for admin messages..so
for now, she is listed as an owner..and quietly..and is also subscribed to
the admin and error sublists..and then when I leave, she will go "mail" on
these lists instead of nomail, and will be able to deal with errors. : /
Hope there aren't too many. When I think it over, i guess that i really do
not need to have her quiet..since the admin and errors are handled on
separate sublists. My temporary co owner is a listowner for another list on
the same computer, so she already has a password. So it all works out,
except that the quiet thing was superfluous, I guess.
 
Looking forward to getting away from the effluvia.. : ) Kathleen
