So if you issue a QUERY command, the info about your subscription is returned in a mail item. But some commands direct LISTSERV to send you information that may be very large and/or may contain binary data. GET, REVIEW, LIST GLOBAL, database searches and the like will always send the data under separate cover, and via NJE if that is possible. If you want it via mail, you can add F=MAIL, and if you never get the file you'll know it's because it's too large for your mail system. Eric
