Would it be possible to add an Ack=MAIL or Ack=COPY option? This option would simply return a copy of the mail item sent to the list back to the sender. No statistics files would be sent to the sender. Many non-technical users are easily annoyed with 'junk mail'. While the statistics are interesting to postmasters, I doubt if an Music Professor would really understand the multiple responses. I was reminded of this when the discussion of the 'meaningless' information which GRAND returns was being discussed. I think getting a copy of the mail would reassure these non-hackers that the mail really did go out. (Sort of like picking up a newspaper or magazine with an article you wrote). We can still pull statistics when we need them. Thanks for your consideration of what would technically be called a "warm fuzzy"... :-) Marty
