I wish I had thought of that. :-) I just sit and look at 60-80 at a time looking for the odd high numb of characters to guess which I should read first. Speaking of enhancements for the future. I would be very happy if I could customize the default message that Listserv sends out when I issue the "serve off" command for an address. (I know you can also send a second more informed message) The rationale for asking is that we just live in a different world now and I always feel compelled to answer the growing number of "Dah?, what did I do wrong" and "what does this mean" messages. There used to be a time the only people reading that message knew very well what they did and that they possibly deserved it. :-) Therefore, the other reason for asking is the message itself. As indicated by the sometimes wrathfull, incensed and threatening responses, a good number of people tend to interpret that message as [log in to unmask] having the authority to serve them off from ALL listserv servers -- not that I don't like the thought of that idea at all, :-) but a customized message would make it clear that they were served off of Listserv "here only" in spite of the merits of them thinking otherwise. --Trish Trish Forrest, Queen's University
