>A nice thing would be to be able to run the >scan * <string> >for all the lists... i don't know if you can do a similar thing already... You can get a similar effect by issuing the following command: Q * for *<string>* This gives a rather verbose output, admittedly. You may prefer: Q ***GUI*** * for *<string>* Why *<string>* instead of just <string>? It's because SCAN looks for a substring whereas Q looks for the entire email address to match the pattern. As an example, SCAN LSTOWN-L earthweb would return in part [log in to unmask], but Q LSTOWN-L FOR earthweb would return anything as "earthweb" isn't an email address subscribed to the mailing list (in fact it's not an email address at all). I think this has been discussed before; a search through the archives may turn up more information on this issue.
