	All:

	I'll be taking over a mailing list effective 1 January
	that has around 500 people on it.  Moderated, with one
	message per week. 

	Situation:

	This is twenty different mailing lists, whose only difference
	is in the graphic format that the recipients are sent. 
	<<  TIFF, GIF, PNG, etc >> 

	Currently the list is manually maintained, including subscribe,
	unsubscribe requests, etc.

	I'd like to have it all automated, so all I have to do,
	is send the message, with the appropriate graphic to
	each list.   

	Questions:

#1:	How do I set up the lists, so that somebody won't subscribe
	to all twenty, thinking that they are different lists?
	
		IE:  Subscribe to HWA-GIFF only, and not HWA-GIFF,
	             HWA-JPEG, HWA-TIFF, HWA-PNG etc thinking that
	 	     each of them is a different list.  

	I don't really object to people subscribing to all the different
	lists --- except I forsee complaints about them being the same.



#2:	Does anybody have a good suggestion as to what mailing list
	software I should use?  Or at least try out?

	Send responses to me, and if there are any requests, I'll
	post a synopsis to list-managers.

	#1/usr/bin/perl -w015112pi.bak

	& that is supposed to be readable code in a language designed
	for clear reading?????
