The REVIEW command/procedure, in some packages, produces a list of all the subscribers to a list. Back in The Good Old Days(tm) when the net was a reasonably safe place to be, anyone (or, at least, any subscriber) could find out who else was on the list, so they'd know who all they were talking to (individual subscribers would still have the ability to hide just their subscription). But with the rise of UBE and other forms of mass email abuse, most lists are now closed to any form of REVIEW (as well they should be). -- Adam Bailey | Chicago, Illinois [EMAIL PROTECTED] | "Logic is the art of going wrong with [EMAIL PROTECTED] | confidence." - George Bernard Shaw Finger for PGP | http://www.tezcat.com/~adamb/
