I don't use topics, cleverly or otherwise, so I can't help with examples, but maybe I can help with how it works. The administrator of a list defines topics and gives them names. Then, a list member's options page lists the defined topics and gives the member the option of selecting which topics to receive. Then the member who elects to receive posts matching certain topics will receive all posts that match any of the selected topics. The member will not receive any posts from the list that match one or more topics but not any selected topics, and the member has the additional option of whether or not to receive posts that match no topics at all. Members who don't select topics continue to receive all posts. All of this applies only to regular (non-digest) members. Topics do not apply to digests. In short, you allow list members to subscribe to different topics simply by defining topics for that list. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
