[Evolution-users] Longtime user on a difference computer runinginto a problem

[Mike Lieberman]

Patrick, yes, listserv is gone but all mailing list systems are based
on istserv and as I have been using mailing lists system my dys on
SunOS and DAX, well, all mailing list services including the one
running on my Surgemail server, here in my office are listservs to me.
I was well aware of the limitations of mail through such  service. I
was merely demonstrating. to Milan,why his request wouldn't fly. And,
historically, not all mailing lists allow html links, (To protect from
spam.) 

Regard,
Mike Lieberman 
(who was many years ago, before there was an ARIN, ML84. then
grandfathered in to ARIN as ML84-ARIN only to be purged from the ARIN
database once I retired and no longer was the POC for any ASN.)
