Rich: Re your question... Wes, are you sure the error is that it looks like a listserv command or is the error that your post duplicates an already posted one? From what you are describing, I would suspect the latter, not the former. The actual message I am getting is the following... "Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it looks like a LISTSERV command, rather than material intended for distribution to the members of the TSTRNL-L list. Please note that LISTSERV commands must ALWAYS be sent to the LISTSERV address; if it was indeed a command you were attempting to issue, please send it again to [log in to unmask] for execution. Otherwise, please accept our apologies and try to rewrite the message with a slightly different wording - for instance, change the first word of the message, enclose it in quotation marks, insert a line of dashes at the beginning of your message, etc." And, per the instructions, I tried a couple of tests enclosing the first word, then first sentence in quotes and adding dashes to the beginning of the line. It didn't change the results. ...Wes Anderson [log in to unmask]
