Listprocessor has a nice function whereby the text of any message after a line beginning with "--" is ignored, thus eliminating many error messages on signature lines. Does listserv have something similar? It would help if I didn't have to delete all the text of a message when using the OK reply option. (BTW, the owners manual and the message pre-text header each refer to the other for information on exactly how to use the OK reply option, neither fully explains). - -- Gary Klass Department of Political Science Illinois State University Normal Illinois 61790-4699
