Scott,
Don't worry! No use adding to grey hairs, hehe!
By the way, FWIW, the items you pointed out in your=20
original post, especially lack of digest mode, were what
played a key role in my search for a different host for
an Arachne Mailing List after the demise of the originals=2E
I founded the Freelists group, did everything required to=20

to the Calmira II Online group hosted by Freelists as=20
well=2E I've had very little problems with them, other than
at the moment a couple of list members are having=20
difficulties posting messages=3F=3F=3F Don't know why, YET!
BTW, when a "DGI" is mentioned, what they should tell=20
you is a DGI is basically a DOS BATCH program, which=20
calls external utilities, although a few were written for
"online" use, similar to CGI scripting for forms and such=2E
The mail sorting DGI is part of an "APM", which I myself
never downloaded or installed=2E
C U L8R!
