Here is a bit from the "Advanced Topics For Listserv" manual which can be found on the Lsoft web site: 6.4.5.1 QUERY To QUERY subscriber options from an application you should use: QUERY ***GUI*** listname [FOR e-mail-address] The response will look like the following: ***HDR*** e-mail-address ***NAME*** firstname lastname ***OPT*** option1 ***OPT*** option2 ... ***OPT*** optionN ***SUBDATE*** date ***TOPICS*** subscriber-topics ***TOPLIST*** list-topics ***HDR*** e-mail-address (next subscriber) etc. N matching entries found. Where: • The "***HDR***" line denotes the beginning of the subscription settings for a particular subscriber (recall that the QUERY command could yield information for multiple subscriptions) and identifies the e-mail address of the subscription. • The "***NAME***" line provides the full name stored for that subscriber. • The "***OPT***" lines each show one option set for the subscription. The first option would always be MAIL or NOMAIL. All the other options are only those options that are NOT the default options in LISTSERV (as opposed to the default options set for the particular list -- these do not apply here). • The "***SUBDATE***" line contains the subscription date. • The "***TOPICS***" line lists the topics which are selected for this subscription. • The "***TOPLIST***" line lists all the topics that are available for the list, regardless of whether this particular subscription has them selected, except for "ALL" and "OTHER". • These lines are repeated for each matching entry found. • The last line gives a count of matching entries found. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
