I my rush to get that note off I neglected to mention that most important issue of loss of user option settings when you use the delete/add method of chaning a user's e-mail address. Since all subscribers to the lists I operate are subscribed to all 40+ the lists in this group, and all the lists use TOPICS, this is a very significant issue for me. I find most folks have trouble just understanding how to use the options, let alone keep track of how they have set them for this meany lists. I wouldn't use such a complicated set-up if there was some other way, but it allows folks to be selective in the mail items they receive in ways mailer program filters wouldn't allow. Would love to see a "Change address" command implemented for LISTSERV. John Roraback
