     Rumor has it that vms mail in version 5 of vms isn't going to allow 
forwarding to a distrubtion list of any kind.  Is this true?  Are we 
going to lose distribution lists altogether?  Hey DEC, what gives.  
Distribution list are *used* by us poor helpless users.  It's not nice to 
take away a feature that people might be using!  If it is going to go 
away, will similar functionality replace it somewhere else in a vms 
bundled product?  If this is *not* true then let's stop this rumor here. 
If anything, vms mail needs *more* functionality not less.
