- I happened to notice, professor Earls, that you sent the correct
- command but you sent it to the list instead of to the listserver
- address. When you send these commands to NOTABENE@TAUNIVM.BITNET they
- are distributed to the list as mail and have absolutely no effect. It
- is only when they are sent to the listserver, LISTSERV@TAUNIVM.BITNET,
- that they can be implemented.
-
- I noticed that several of our colleagues made this slip this summer
- when they went on vacation. We should all bear carefully in mind the
- difference between the list itself and the listserver...
