The clever bit is that the two lists from boards today are not adminned, I know I am waiting to become an admin for them. To understand you correctly, until september or whenever, board posters who want their messages passed on the gateway will have to subscribe to lists before they send their message. This is not well advertised. Peter McCrae No--the list admins are supposed to be approving the board posts (if appropriate) and sending them through. The board posters are not supposed to be told they have to subscribe. Joan
