Thank you all. We did figure a way to use a GroupWise prefix which ensured that LISTSERV-bound messages would go out our Internet gateway in a non-Mime format. That solved our "uncovered control codes in the confirmation e-mail" problem. I can assist other GroupWise users if they experience the same problem. >>> [log in to unmask] 02/09/00 03:31PM >>> > Discarding GroupWise is not an option.

If you can disable the 'quoted-printable' text within Groupwise and just send in ascii or plain text format, yes. Q-P control codes all start with =.... and you are seeing those uncovered control codes. Barb in Southern Indiana Zone 5/6 [log in to unmask] A root is a flower that disdains fame.
