Eric, just realised I should have mentioned this a while back. Since I have passed on the chore of managing delivery error messages to a colleague, I have forgotten how annoying it is to receive the complete message along with the error message and message header. Our list, anthro-l, with circa 1700 international subscribers gets inundated with delivery error messages, repeat attempts, etc, etc. This can quickly close down an account in even a few days if one is not actively killing bad addresses. Is there a way to clip off the original message from the listserv error messages...?
