Dear Judith Either your members are very quiet types or I run an exceptionally chatty list. I have around three hundred members, but lots of them are signed on from more than one address or set to NOMAIL. When I get back an ACK message it usually says that my message has been sent to about 150 people. But we usually manage to generate about one hundred messages per day. Incidentallly, does anyone know if that ACK figure includes members of the list whose accounts are set to DIGEST? Lydia Fish Listowner vwar-l
