I'd like to second Jeff on this request. I also very much want to know of any mail program besides Ricemail that will put in correct Resent headers. As many of you may remember, I've asked about this before on this list. Here's what I found so far. People tell me that there is a plug-in for Eudora for the MAC that will do it. I don't have a MAC though, and no one has said which plug-in it is. My MAC friends haven't been able to locate it. Apparently it doesn't work on any of the IBM versions (as far as I've heard.) I was also told Pegasus mail would create correct resent headers, but all my tests failed. Someone suggested a lengthy procedure in Pine involving saving all the postings for the day in a file, then editing them with Pico, then bouncing them to my list. (Pine does have resent headers, but only for bounces, and it won't let you edit bounces.) I thought that would work, but listserv was too smart, and figured out the trick apparently (at least the messages didn't come through correctly). Besides it took so much extra time to do, that I gave it up after several experiments. Someone else suggested MH. I even bought the manual. It's a world of it's own, and I suspect I'll never have time to learn it well enough to figure out if it would work. Even then the interface looks like it would be difficult to deal with on a high volume list. Like Jeff, I edit every EDTECH message to cut massive extraneous requoted lines that consistently appear, and to make sure that the full name and address of each subscriber appears in their messages. We very much like being able to sort by author in our WWW archive and in Usenet news. It appears impossible to do this on a moderated list where any editing at all is done to the messages. So our current choice seems to be to let large amounts of extraneous junk go through on frequently unsigned messages, or to not let the subscribers sort by author when they read their messages, or look in the archives. Since Ricemail is about to go away, I'm very sadly deciding to soon tell the subscribers there will no longer be a way to determine who wrote a message without reading it, and no way to sort archived messages by author. I very much wish there was any other solution than Ricemail too, and would be glad to hear if anyone has found one in the year or so since I last asked about his. Thanks for all insights into this problem. Vickie Banks EDTECH Editor [log in to unmask] Jeff Kell <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >But I need to edit the text.
