There <are> a couple of ways to filter an obnoxious user without it showing up in the list header. But they involve the LISTSERV maintainer, so list owners can't do this themselves, and they also involve cutting the user off from <all> lists on the server. If this person is that obnoxious, perhaps you should contact your local maintainer and ask that either this person be permanently served off, or added to the FILTER_ALSO site configuration variable. Naturally the response you will get depends on how your LISTSERV maintainer feels about cutting users off from the entire server. Nathan
