If a keyword is found twice in the header file, LISTSERV will basically add them together. For example: Owner= [log in to unmask] Owner= Quiet: Owner= [log in to unmask] is equivalent to: Owner= [log in to unmask],Quiet:,[log in to unmask] So yes, order does matter, and whether or not it will work depends on whether LISTSERV will accept the extra parameters and what it will do to them. For example, if you have Send=Public [...] Send=Private that adds up to Send=Public,Private Since the Send command accepts more than one parameter, it will accept both. I'm not sure how it would interpret it -- I'm guessing that it act as if it were public, but I'd have to test it to find out for sure. If it ended up as Send=Private,Public, I would suspect that would also be public. Even if it worked this version, I wouldn't guarantee that it won't break next version, since that's not a documented valid access-level (see Appendix B). In other words, the answer to your question is "it depends". Francoise
