I was preparing to help someone else set up a list with topics, so I have reviewed material but have not yet used them myself. One of these examples sounds odd to me: From: "Ben Parker" > > some invalid examples: > > Subject: Bird This message is about birds > (no ":", will go to ALL and OTHER topics, but not to Bird topic) > > Subject: Cat: This message is about cats > (valid syntax, but CAT is not a topic, will go to ALL and OTHER) I had understood that the ALL topic must be specified, and that messages with no recognized topic went only to OTHER. Can this be clarified? Hal Keen
