A couple of "solutions" come to mind: 1) delete the poster who is sending the mail, and/or 2) alter the receiver's subscription options e.g., SET DIGEST (there might even be a header option such as SHORT that might do the trick), and/or 3) don't use auto-delete and/or 4) have the user READ the list via Usenet: news:bit.listserv.news-l which seems to be globally gatewayed via AMERICAN.EDU Someone with more knowledge will have to speak to the relevant RFCs and what is conformant behaviour. -- mailto:[log in to unmask] Tel: +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg; University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA Powered by: LISTSERV, Eudora, Netscape, mIRC, FreeAgent http://www.psu.edu/Year2000/
