Yes, that works (I cut/paste your sample comments into the TEMP-L list and sent it to LISTSERV@JHUVM just to double check). As long as the text you include after the keyword value doesn't look like another keyword assignment, it should be fine. For example, something like, * Owner= [log in to unmask] -> Bruce= our list's founder * Owner= [log in to unmask] -> Richard= the owner-on-call this week * Owner= [log in to unmask] -> Steve= this week's backup owner would cause LISTSERV think you thought there were list header keywords called "Bruce", "Richard", and "Steve". And it would complain. :) Since unknown keywords are considered "warning" level errors, the list would be updatted anyway. Now if one of your co-owners was named "Notebook" or some such, you could wind up making a mess of things. But, things like that aside, you can put whatever comments you find useful after the value. >Steve, co-owner Quaker-L and Quaker-P -jj
