Just wanted to point out to everyone that there is an easier way to find out if everything is fine with the list, and/or if you've missed messages. Send a message to:

        ListGuru_at_fatcity.com

And in the message BODY, put:

        LASTMAIL ORACLE-L
or

        ALLMAIL ORACLE-L ListGuru will then send you back a message with either the headers of the last message posted, or the headers of ALL the messages posted since midnight (depending on which command you use). This way you can check up with what has been posted, find out if the list is working, etc. The best part is that you don't have to send "is the list alive" type messages to the list, which seem to just make everyone unhappy. :-) Received on Wed May 03 2000 - 13:15:57 CDT
