The message I get when someone wants to join our list (it's moderated, they need owner permission) indicates that the message has been "specially formatted" to allow me to simply add the password, and then forward the message to the listserv to "auto-add" the party. I'm just getting the list started, but so far I've not been able to simply forward the post--when I do nothing happens. I'm using Communicator 4.5 Thanks, Bret D
