Your  message is  being returned  to you  unprocessed because  it looks  like a
LISTSERV command, rather than material intended for distribution to the members
of the vanagon list. Please note that  LISTSERV commands must ALWAYS be sent to
the LISTSERV address; if it was indeed  a command you were attempting to issue,
please send  it again  to LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM for  execution. Otherwise,
please accept  our apologies  and try  to rewrite the  message with  a slightly
different wording - for instance, change the first word of the message, enclose
it  in quotation  marks, insert  a  line of  dashes  at the  beginning of  your
message, etc.
