I here apologize to anybody who was inconvenienced. The real problem, though, is with your mail system: every person on the machine, subscribing to the same stuff, gets a personal copy mailed, and has to edit it with a text editor to read it. As I use a nifty program to sort this stuff out and read SOME, and the (UN*X) system here gets just one copy of each, the other method seems, well... Complain to your system administrators! I believe it is possible to achieve modest levels of convenience even on HAL machines! - Moshe Braner (apologies to anybody who will make less money if these suggestions will be acted upon :-)
