A seacrh of freelists-users failed to provide an answer to this issue. It provided a red herring and a misunderstanding, so I will ask the question carefully. WE have some items in the list archive which we would either like to edit or remove. These contain e-mail addresses, whcih got out and we would rather not have them publically visible. Yes, the archive protects the header, but obviously not the message body or users signatures, Being more than warey about a certain sort of tinned meat, we would like to remove the bits that we would rather were not visible. This could be done bt editing the original file in the archive or deleting and resubmitting a cleaned up version. Make sense? Clear? understandable? I hope so. It took me sometime to get the list oner to realize the issue and now I am working with him to find ways of "tidying up". I await answers with interest. -- Yours John. =========================================================== The FreeLists-Users mailing list Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/freelists-users Administrative contact: weez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ===========================================================
