I recently asked if anyone knew how to RECEIVE a mail file into a note- book other than ALL NOTEBOOK. I tried the RECEIVE / (NOTEBOOK FN option but according to the documentation (help receive) that only works if the filetype is NOTE. So, I tried sending a NOTE to our sample listser and the acknowledgement said it sent 'fn NOTE a' to samp-l at uvmvm. But I have samp-l as an edited list, so it sent the NOTE to the editor. But it appeared in the editors reader as a MAIL file so once again the NOTEBOOK option failed. Any clues or is it hopeless???? thanks.
