The list is managed using a program called "ezmlm" (I think "easy mail list manager" [Americans pronounce the name of the letter Z "zee", hence "ee-zee"]). The manual for this program is at <http://www.ezmlm.org/manual/>. I haven't read the whole thing but I have read the section on "Message Moderation" and there does *not* seem to be any facility for the moderator to alter the subject or any of the address lists (To:, cc:, bcc:) of the message being moderated. It appears that the moderator can only accept, reject or ignore messages. Ignored messages are automatically rejected after 5 days. While we allow unsubscribed posters it seems we will have to live with the consequences. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
