Suggestion: A change I'd like to see sometime in the future is the way list header keywords are changed by LISTSERV. Currently, the header for the list has to be retrieved, the file edited, then stored back to the list via mail. Ever try this for the same operation on many lists? I found that stacking multiple PUT commands in the same email message when storing the headers for a number of lists you wish to change the same option in just does not work (e.g. Review= PUBLIC to REVIEW= Private for all lists), meaning the PUT command has to be issued explicitly for each list. Would it not make sense to implement commands such as changing Review= from Public to Private using the something similar to the following one-line mail commands? SET OPTION "Review= Private" FOR * /* Only sysadmin can do this */ -- or -- SET OPTION "SUBSCRIPTION= Private" FOR IGUANA-L /* List Owner or sysadmin can do this */ these commands would only be recognized for the sysadmin plus list owner for a specific list, and only the sysadmin if a wild-card is specified for the list name. I have no idea of the amount of code which would have to be changed, but it would make a nice *alternative* method for list owners and administrators to change header options, and in some case would speed up maintenance dramatically. Comments, anyone? Scotty ==================================================================== Steve Howie Email: [log in to unmask] NetNews and Listserv Admin.
