The form and size of the error messages is a function of the agency sending the error message, not LISTSERV. Some sites send errors compliant with LISTSERV prorgamming and those are handled by AUTO-DELETE if you have that installed (sometimes you have to uninstall it to figure out a problem). The vagaries of error messages are manifold, but they are not LISTSERV, they are the individual sites. If you do not like the way a particular site sends its error messages talk to the administrators at that site (if you get a reply consider yourself blessed). Douglas
