- Dear Bob & ODF-INTEREST list members,
-
- Sorry to have to do this to the list, but the problem I am having hasn't been
- solved by discussing it with the ListMaster, so I am trying to see how badly
- broken the mailing list really is.

- Well I received Bob's mail fine through the gateway, and to the other address I
- asked him to copy me on, so it seems the problem is still back at the ListServ
- end. I would interested in hearing if other subscribers of ODF-INTEREST,
- particularly those people who subscribe through AppleLink has experienced
- similar problems.

- p.s. Bob, the first time I sent this, I screwed up the mailing list address.
