The big-trains list adds the following headers to all of its messages: X-Comment: To get off of this list, mail an "unsubscribe" command to X-Comment: big-trains-request@cirr.com X-Questions: Mail problems/questions to big-trains-owner@cirr.com I don't know if it really helps or not though, except in the case of an admin clearing an old account - I know from experience that isn't always an easy thing to do.

I don't know if your list-serving software supports this, but if it does it may be worth the effort. Just my fiftieth of a buck. - Jack -- Jack N Shoemaker / United Risk A & M / shoe@uram.com
