It can prove to be a problem in that the mail goes cyclic for those unfamiliar with using the Mail dispatcher (or Telnet or something) to remove the offending article from the server.

Each message gets its own temp file. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE+g2AVOeQkq5KdzaARAqz9AKDZCy9s9IQjbAuv1SjDPbM/XoDnAQCePyEg PIRHz7i6XNecOmndXf/Tb34= =n4Gu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
