Yes, I am the primary listowner of a list that I administrate completely via email. The catch is that to do it safely you need to compile a program called lb64 available from the tools filelist at searn and probably a number of other sites. To send a file with line lengths longer than 80 columns you would type: lb64 filename | mail listserfg_address * LB64 (Program to mail jobs to LISTSERV from non-BITNET systems) * * * * LB64 is a program that allows non-BITNET users (or BITNET users with * * a poor man's RSCS emulator) to safely mail files wider than 80 bytes * * to LISTSERV (for instance, LIST or FILELIST files).
