I am sorry to report *several* messages sent to the Digest Monday were lost during the time some maintainence work was going on in the telecom account. The '.maildelivery' file instructs the system how to deliver incoming mail. It says who should be issued an auto-reply, who should be forwarded to the telecom-request file, etc. At one point the file was incorrectly installed, and the system sent out auto-replies, then promptly tossed out the mail undelivered. The trouble with this machine is it does what I tell it -- not what I want! If your message is not printed in the Digest by Tuesday, or your list request is not handled by then, please assume it was lost; accept my apologies and resubmit it. *Ignore any auto-reply you may have received Monday as evidence of delivery*. Only go by what you see here Monday/Tuesday or what action was taken on your request by the same time. Patrick Townson
