Hiya, James (Jim? Other??), If your "double message problem" hasn't yet been corrected, you might drop Barbara Patterson, the List owner, an email and ask her to double-check your Listserv settings. Upon rare occasions (VERY rare, of COURSE) <grin>, while setting up a new member's account or modifying an existing account, Barb's EVIL TWIN takes over and occasionally sets-up the Listserv to send TWO of the same messages each time a new message is sent a List member. IF that "evil twin's" been up to some mischief, by notifying Barb Patterson, you can count on her to correct the problem. Of course, if Bill Gates' evil twin (OHMAGOSH! Whadda thought) set up your Outlook software, then sadly, you're up the creek!
