Hi. Actually, I have a separate list for errors and for admin messages..so for now, she is listed as an owner..and quietly..and is also subscribed to the admin and error sublists..and then when I leave, she will go "mail" on these lists instead of nomail, and will be able to deal with errors. : / Hope there aren't too many. When I think it over, i guess that i really do not need to have her quiet..since the admin and errors are handled on separate sublists. My temporary co owner is a listowner for another list on the same computer, so she already has a password. So it all works out, except that the quiet thing was superfluous, I guess. Looking forward to getting away from the effluvia.. : ) Kathleen At 12:14 AM 6/24/96 -0500, you wrote: >On Sun, 23 Jun 1996, Robert Alan Harris wrote: >> Kathleen -- >> Try the following configuration in the list header.
