Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this (if it can be done)??? I'm sure I'll get my mouth washed out with soap for this but... As a variation on the previous suggestions, your exec can also cobble up a bogus mail header so that LISTSERV can punch the file and then transfer it to MAILER, giving the new subscriber the illusion that the second message came from yourself.
