Hi Jean The best thing to do first is check the archives to see if theres anything posted you haven't seen If nothing there its most likely because its quiet but to test the system why not post an enquiry which will not only confirm the list is functioning but may also galvanise the list into replying :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Wondering if the lists are just very quiet or am i not recieving mail .So thought i would test it .
