For some lists, the reason for having NOMAIL set is because that subscriber reads mail via a gateway/Usenet/Netnews, but the List is marked PRIVATE and that subscriber might have a need to search/fetch the notebook archives. Also, being a subscriber *might* indicates to others the folks at a particular institution who are interested in a particular list's focus. /Pete -- Peter M.
