If I try to >delete the specified ID, LISTSERV tells me that there is no >subscriber with >that address on the list; similarly a query for *@aol.com shows no >such subscriber. The problem with AOL is that it allows each user to set up a number of different mail boxes all within AOL. Consequently, (I think) that a subscriber to your list may subscribe under one such mail box/name/ make submissions under yet a different one, and still, get his/her mail under still another such "user name". It's just a thought.... (Rudy) Rudolf Kies, PH.D. Moderator Cloaks-and-Daggers <cloaks> on [log in to unmask]
