After some thought I wonder why you need the GENERAL list at all. Just have the 4 SUB-Lists, and if you have a GENERAL type msg, simply mark that in the Subject: line like GEN/ADMIN.... Then you send the same msg to all 4 lists when you need to. This will work well if your GENERAL material is mainly of an Announcement nature (1-way msg maybe with private replies to special mail-alias. You can always extract the GEN msgs from anyone of the SUB-List archives if you want to. If you want general back-forth discussion in the General list however, that may not work, in which case you are back to having 2 lists and all the maintenance headaches, or an on-the-fly build as Roger suggests. _______________________________________________________________________ Ben Parker ............
