I received the following request for a list I manage. Does anyone know of a way to prevent listserv from including the instructions for an index?

Some of our folks here are participating in the tesl-l mailing list via a _very expensive_ dialup UUCP connection to the States; in order to keep the volume down, they've been requesting indexes and only reading selected messages. Unfortunately, each time an index is sent out, appended to it comes a long list of instructions that far exceeds the volume of the index, and is completely redundant for someone who has received it 20 times before. Is there any way to get indexes _without_ all this appended verbosity? Thanks-- Larry Miller [log in to unmask]
