Otherwise, you are forever mailing them to people, | creating much more net-load. +--------------- How about a new alias, "xxx-archive", for every moderated sources group. The moderator can attach headers as appropriate and mail the article to the archive site(s); or perhaps use a special distribution "arch" to send the posting. The header information would be something like: Posting-number: Volume 2, Archive 1 Subject: v02ar01: blah, blah, blah... This would get stuff into the archives properly and wouldn't disrupt either the newsgroup or the numbering scheme (which is useful for identifying missing postings). Any other moderator-types listening? ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
