----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Is MAPHIST-L a newsgroup or only a Listserv? If the latter, then it is a problem to subscribe because postings clog up my personal email and use up precious space on the main system (i.e. messages may be duplicated to multiple subscribers). If it is a newsgroup, I would be most interested in signing up as I can easily thread my way daily through the topics of interest that pop up on the lists I am subscribed to through the newsreader. Unfortunately, MAPHIST hasn't appeared on the list of new newsgroups here. David Cobb, can you elucidate? ... Christine Earl
