Yes, you and I have similar ideas, but somewhat different provocations for thinking so. At least in your case it would seem to take fewer keystrokes/mouseclicks to OK the items instead of how you do it now - click reply, type OK, click send . . . . instead of drag/select/cut/paste - maybe not fewer interactions, but certainly fewer error possibilities. >>> [log in to unmask] 01/18/01 11:55AM >>> > Do you mean that the owner's email address/account has been forged and/or > compromised and that somehow the OK will remedy that? I don't think so. I think what is meant is that instead of sending the command itself back to listserv to ADD someone, the owner can just send back an OK. I was just thinking this myself, but I'm not sure it would really help all that much. In my situation, I have a class-full of students all signing up for the list (a class-oriented list) at the same time. The list is set to Subscribe By Owner because in the past we have had non-students subscribe to list (don't ask me why they would want to). This causes 20-30 messages to come flooding into the owner (me) one at a time. What I do is cut & past the command from all 30 or so messages from listserv into a single message. Not terribly efficient, but it does work. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes [log in to unmask] ICQ: 3581645 Computer Systems Manager Department of Geography ph: 979-458-1539 Texas A&M University fax: 979-862-4487
