John, I have tried sending the message that you said to use to get on the natural history discussion list twice. I get this message back: SUBSCRIBE: Unknown list name NHCOLL-L^POLLY^CEGIELSKI Report any problems to 'server'. For a list of the available requests send a message to [log in to unmask] with a body consisting of nothing but the word HELP PS: Any subsequent requests that you might have submitted have been ignored. I won't assume that I didn't make a mistake, was the 'subscribe' command suppose to be in the subject line or in the body of the text? I did try it both ways and am now looking for suggestions. thanks Polly Cegielski John E.
