I here apologize to anybody who was inconvenienced.

The real problem, though, is with your mail system: every person on the
machine, subscribing to the same stuff, gets a personal copy mailed,
and has to edit it with a text editor to read it.  As I use a nifty
program to sort this stuff out and read SOME, and the (UN*X) system
here gets just one copy of each, the other method seems, well...

Complain to your system administrators!  I believe it is possible
to achieve modest levels of convenience even on HAL machines!
