Eleanor-- I don't know if this was your problem, but I get a similar message ( address too long or distorted, etc) when I have accidentally copied the < or > along with the address---the listserv just spits that out ! It is only a program, and very intolerant of human error! > I had an instructor once who said that computers are dumb. Well, this one >just outsmarted me (which is not always that hard to do). I asked Janet for >help because every time I tried to send something to the list I got a message >telling me tar the address was too long. Janet asked me to send a test and >forward the message to her. Janet, guess what? The message went through. >Computers may be dumb, but they sure can scramble my brain (what there is of >it). Thanks again for your help.
