Does &WHOM not work in the BOTTOM_BANNER? Apparently not. If it did work, then that would mean that each message distributed by LISTSERV(R) would be customized, regardless of the subscriber's subscription option e.g., SHORT822 v SHORT. LISTSERV(R) and network bandwidth is most efficient when the '822' distribution option suffix is NOT used. LISTSERV(R) can only tell the sender what their email address is e.g., Q listname, and not which userid they might have subscribed under, unless SCAN listname is enabled (in which case any one can do it).
