Out of curiosity, I added the BITNET sub mentioned in the previous posting and then deleted it. The output is below (skipping the pseudonyms this time). Is LISTSERV checking the equivalency tables? If so, why, when it is a command from a listowner trying to maintain a list in proper (I hope) fashion, and it is assumed the listowner knows what he is doing (at least in this instance)? And why does it seem to assume that if I want to delete one address I want to delete both? Same question applies to her set digest command changing both subs.
