Seriously, I just have to ask this question. Why mark via the subject line a message as "OFF LIST" and then send it via the normal list framework. Doing so only insures that the message is actually "ON LIST" irregardless of what nomenclature is used in the subject line. If a message is truly supposed to be "OFF LIST", then why not send it directly to its intended recipient(s)? If, on the other hand, it is meant for general review by the groups members, then why mark it "OFF LIST" to begin with? I am aware of the prefix "OT" used in several forums; however, that is usually only used to thwart the moderator of the forum from banning the message or chastising the OP. Its use is of dubious success. -- Jerry gesbbb at yahoo.com |::::======|::::======|==========|==========| The course of true anything never does run smooth. Samuel Butler

Like you've never intended to send someone an off-list message, got finished typing it, then forgot to change the To: line? -Dave>-- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL
