Preferences, General Options, Comment character. I use Pegasus with a comment of ">" (default setting), but I suspect some people tried something else and then returned to "> "", but including a space. This used to happen OFTEN on my list ([log in to unmask]), but an announcemt to the effect of "...do not include a space between '>' and any headers you wish to include. Your mail will get rejected. I will not forward them to the list. Better yet, include *NO* headers at all in your return mail...." I guess you could say it is a Pmail problem (its certainly NOT a Listserv problem), but if the user keeps his default comment ">" instead of "> " Listserv mail will not get rejected. ---------- My disappointments come in all sizes, to fit my hopes. ---------- James Ford - Consultant II, Seebeck Computer Center The University of Alabama (in Tuscaloosa, Alabama) [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] Work (205)348-3968 fax (205)348-3993
