They are linear templates. Here's the relevent quotes from the documentation (I'm reading the Site Manager's Guide): | In a linear message, most special instructions are ignored. This is | because the contents of the template form are just a few lines out of a | larger message that is being prepared by LISTSERV to contain the reply | to the user's command(s). For instance, you do not have any control over | the "Reply-To:" field of the message, because the message in question is | shared with other commands and, in fact, may not be a mail message at | all but an interactive message to the user's terminal, a GUI request, | etc. Generally speaking, with a linear message you are providing the | TEXT of the reply to be shown to the user, but you do not have any | control over the methods used for delivering this information. In a seperate section, I see: | Note that you cannot format the SUB_OWNER template; it all comes out as | one long paragraph without formatting no matter what you do, because it | is a "linear" template. But you should modify it from the default to | let people know that they will receive a questionnaire to be filled out | and returned. Finally: | - POST_EDITOR (linear): this is the message LISTSERV sends to people | attempting to post to the list, if it is moderated. The default is | "Your &MESSAGE has been submitted to the moderator of the &LISTNAME | list: &MBX(&MODERATOR)." POSTACK1 is apparently also a linear template, though I'm having trouble tracking this down in the manual. -- Jacob Haller, Technical Support L-Soft international, Inc http://www.lsoft.com/
