Version 14.4 of the Listserv software masks email addresses to non-subscribers. E.G., http://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A1=ind0707&L=xrf-l ND is running version 18.1e so it probably masks email addresses for non-subscribers also. However, all the lists at ND that I attempted to peek at (http://listserv.nd.edu/archives/index.html ) were restricted to subscribers. It might be ND's policy to have closed archives. However, I'm in favor of open archives if ND will allow it and emails are indeed masked. Tom On 7/18/07, Eric Lease Morgan <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > On Jul 18, 2007, at 1:22 PM, David J.
