It turns out that searching the LISTS database for an explicit list might not "hit". Why? because the listname might not be referenced either in the list TITLE, or a List-ID= header keyword might be omitted. I've added the List-ID=listname to my lists. A "LIST GLOBAL /listname" would reference your list, regardless. /Pete ([log in to unmask]) -- co-owner LDBASE-L, TQM-L, FINAID-L, et -L -- Peter M.
