Their investigation process of, "May I archive this list?" changes from: Go check an external resource to: Start a subscribe process and see if it tells me not to. They're __already__ going to be attempting a subscribe, so nothing changes in their work flow, data acquisition model, or decision making process. The header check merely adds another function point to the subscribe process, not a whole new discovery process. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
