Why can we not forward this type of request to LISTSERV? What am I doing wrong? ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it looks like a search request.

Lehmann" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: SMTP INFO REQUEST The sizes shown are the number of lines in the messages, not counting mail headers. For your convenience, this message has been specially formatted to make it easier to order the messages you are interested in. Just forward this message back to LISTSERV@SEARN (or [log in to unmask]) and fill in the line starting with "Print" (if there is not enough space, you can add more lines as long as you type "Print" on each new line). Make sure to use the forward command of your mail program, not the normal reply function. There is a lot more the LISTSERV database functions can do for you - for instance, you can select all the messages with a particular subject in a single command rather than retyping all the index numbers. For more information, send an INFO DATABASE command to LISTSERV (you could add it before the line that says "Database search" the next time you order messages from the LISTSERV archive). Another method which could be more convenient, depending on the mail program you are using, is to reply to this message while including the original text, just like when you are replying to a normal message and want to quote what your correspondent said. Before sending the message, delete the lines corresponding to the items you are not interested in, and make sure your reply is being sent to "[log in to unmask]", NOT to "[log in to unmask]". Note that this may not work with all mail programs; the first method is more reliable. // JOB Database search DD=Orders //Orders DD * Select * in LMAIL-L.644-647 Print 644 645 646 647 /* // EOJ
