This was the first time I've *not* tryed "/mailman/<something>/<foo>/<bar>" but I certainly didn't expect the 403 err. Thanks much, both of you.

The -questions list has this as a footer. My users/subscribers will be sharp, but probably not geek-savvy. thanks again, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
