Actually the To: line was not long enough, though it may have been too long for
Compuserve.  Maybe Compuserve truncates the To: line after a certain number of
characters.  Bug in Compuserve, and didn't you say Compuserve limited your
inbox to 100 messages?  I've exceeded 100 with Bluegrass Net many times, even
exceeded 200.

See, the server has no way of knowing that the shortened ...com@yaho really is
supposed to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] .  I believe I've had To: lines even longer than
this on list subscription confirmations, and I was successful sending the
confirmation mini-message.

I believe Majordomo is a software rather than hardware item, thus the Arachne
list server would be in Michael's premises.
