The AOL mailer, like many others, will not allow blank subject: lines. It forces you to put something there. LISTSERV ignores the Subject line in command messages, although some other list management programs do look for commands to be in the subject line. So, to keep AOL happy, something must be written on the Subject line, and the easiest thing to write is only the first command word (PUT, SET, QUERY, etc). LISTSERV will ignore this, so the full command line, must be in the message text, with all necessary parameters, such as passwords, etc. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Ben Parker ............
