Let's suppose my organization is divided in four parts (well, in fact, it *is* that way!) and I want to put all the people here in four lists, say, LIST1, LIST2, LIST3, and LIST4. I also want a GENERAL list that includes them all. I know I can simply define all four sublists in the GENERAL one, but I don't want to, because: 1. I want the archival of messages to GENERAL to be distinct from those for LIST1, LIST2...; if the sublists are subscribed to GENERAL, there will be a duplication (a quintiplication? (-: ) in the log files of all messages sent to GENERAL. 2. That way, when a message is sent to GENERAL, the header will include the name of a sublist instead of the name of the general list; this would be confusing because one would not know the real extent of the distribution of the message, and also when when replying. On the other hand, I would prefer not to explicitly signup everybody to the GENERAL *and* the proper sublist, because of the administrative overhead and forgetting to carry changes over to the other list. Any ideas? * Jean Bidard, S.I.T., Universiti Laval * (418) 656-3632 #4014
