First, thanks for the help on the invalid character in the node address.
Several folks send me the RFC references.
 
 
Now, a new question:
 
I am trying to create a listname MAILTPL file.  Everything is going
well, *except* I need to use a "special" character in the text.  For
example, I am trying to put:
 
 Texas A&M University
 
 
Well, it seems the ampersand (&) is something that the mailtpl file
doesn't recognize (left overs from the old PROFS/SCRIPT days?).  I
admit that I used to be a little familar with SCRIPT, but that was about
10 years ago.  Anyone remember what the code is to get it to allow me
to use the "&"?
 
 
Suggestion:
  Perhaps in future versions of Listerv, we can just leave out the text
formatting altogether?  Imho, it's not needed, and tends to be a bother.
Especially in light of the fact that many Listserv's won't be running
on VM at all....
