This is interesting........... I sent a reply to the LSTOWN-L list. A few minutes later I got a response from the list (as expected) telling me my message was successfully distributed: <begin snip> Your message dated Mon, 23 Oct 2000 15:23:57 +1100 with subject "Re: attachments= keyword" has been successfully distributed to the LSTOWN-L list (266 recipients). <end snip> Exactly ten minutes later I got a second message from the list telling me exactly the same thing. Not a problem, I thought, L-soft's LISTSERV is just making sure I got it. Then I noticed that the second message had a different number of subscribers: <begin snip> Your message dated Mon, 23 Oct 2000 15:23:57 +1100 with subject "Re: attachments= keyword" has been successfully distributed to the LSTOWN-L list (208 recipients). <end snip> I know that some people on this list and the LSTSRV-L list have alluded to 'ghost' lists when using both an email and web interface. Could this be one example? Chazzozz!!
