Judith's advice is "right-on" the money. Some e-mail systems use a different e-mail userid@host when the user REPLIES compared to when they originate a new posting. Ain't e-mail grand? Another problem that Subscription=Open,Confirm catches is that sometimes e-mail is not symmetrical i.e., the user can e-mail the listserv, but the listserv can not e-mail the user (for any one of a bunch of reasons). /Pete Weiss -- Penn State
