No, James, I think this is incorrect. In "Changes from release 1.7e to 1.7f" that Eric Thomas <[log in to unmask]> posted on 4 April 1993, he writes: > - A "farewell message" can be defined for a mailing list, using the same > procedure as for the welcome message but with a filetype of FAREWELL. > The farewell message is sent to any user who signs off the list by > himself, but not to users who are removed by the list owner, as it is > expected to contain a message to users who chose to leave on their own, > rather than to misbehaving users. The first line of this farewell > message must be a 'Subject:' field. I can't help you with the automagically part. I've been meaning to learn the command... GIVE, I think, with which one person can send another a file which I would use immediately after a DEL (except for misbehaving users :-). Hope this helps. En paz, Steve -- Stephen W.
