--- Multiple TOPICS in SUBJECT / Eugenio Gatto. - Torino, 1998-03-09 "LISTSERV ... takes anything to the left of a colon as a list of topics, separated by commas". So says the manual, and the syntax is FIRST, SECOND: Anything else if my topics are FIRST and SECOND. But LISTSERV has many more subtleties than even a huge manual could cover; is perhaps this other syntax valid (i.e. are both topics equally recognized) ? FIRST: SECOND: Anything else (I hope the question is not considered SO silly: I am thinking of a way of searching archives with a "WHERE SUBJECT CONTAINS xxx:" clause, to the purpose of limiting, with reasonable approximation, to a specific topic; of course "WHERE SUBJECT CONTAINS (xxx: OR xxx,)" should work, anyway). Thanks in advance. I miei saluti. <-- EG <[log in to unmask]>
