The trick is to get it to the right address. One is for the mailist, where people read it, and the other is for the listserv program to read. Sending listserv commands to the mailist annoys people, and the listserver responds with error messages to common messages. For the listserver, try one of these addresses: listserv@pucc.bitnet listserv@pucc.princeton.edu ...!att!arpa!pucc.bitnet!listserv You can type multiple commands in one mail message to the listserver, such as: subscribe coco <fulname> index os9 Hope this helps.

Don't send anything via "att!arpa". The arpa host went to the great VAX in the sky a couple of months ago, and isn't coming back. Arpa was an AT&T machine used as a gateway. Plain old "att" will work, maybe, tho it may balk at forwarding email from outside ATT to another site outside ATT. -- Mike Knudsen knudsen@ihlpl.att.com (708)-713-5134 "If you cut out drinking, smoking, steak, and sex, you may live 5 years longer -- if you want to."
