Hi, The list header for my test list includes Subscription= By Owner which results the owner getting the message below. So far so good. I have tried replying to the message, leaving it intact and putting in both the listserv password and the list password, I have tried the same, but forwarding it, I have tried replying to the message and deleting all but the last three lines and putting in both passwords and I have tried the same as that, but forwarding it (for a total of eight tries). What is the trick to make this work? FYI - If I create a new message and cut and paste "ADD ITTEST [log in to unmask] Some User" and send that to [log in to unmask] it works. This is all being done from Exchange client 5.0 ======================================================================= Wed, 19 Nov 1997 17:37:07 A request for subscription to the ITTEST list (IT Test list) has been received from Some User <[log in to unmask]>. You can, at your discretion, send the following command to [log in to unmask] to add this person to the list: ADD ITTEST [log in to unmask] Some User PS: In order to facilitate the task, this message has been specially formatted so that you only need to forward it back to [log in to unmask] and fill in the password to have the command executed. Note that while the formats produced by the forwarding function of most mail packages are supported, replying will seldom work, so make sure to forward and not reply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - // JOB PW=XXXXXXXX ADD ITTEST [log in to unmask] Some User // EOJ ________________________________________________ Elizabeth L.
