The list is locked. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/17891756> for more about locks and removing stale locks. I have looked at the script and I see an issue. It can leave the list locked if you specify a message file and that file cannot be read. I have updated the script to fix this. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
