Since I paid attention last August, when Bruce Nevin sent the following:

[From: Bruce Nevin (Tue 920818 06:59:09)]
A number of us have wondered if there were some way of closing the loop
when we send messages to csg-l. Why doesn't the listserv software
include the sender among those to whom it sends the sender's message?
I learned from another listserv group that, in order to be included in
the distribution of one's own messages, one can send a message to the
listserver (the host running the listserv software) with the following
text on the first line:
set csg-l repro
(I have substituted csg-l for the other group's list name, of course. The
default is said to be NO REPRO.)
I sent this message to LISTSERV@VMD.CSO.UIUC.EDU (the BitNet address is
LISTSERV@UIUCVMD.Bitnet). I received a message confirming that the
listserver had accepted the command, and Gary confirms that also. In a
following message, I will tell you whether or not it worked--that is,
whether or not the listserver send me a copy of this message.

I got my own message back and could see that it dropped 3/4 line.
So here is a resend of my post to Bob: (This time with header).

Bob, no need for Avery to resend his post. You are on MCImail. Just type
SCAN DESK at the command prompt, and you will get a list of all the
messages you have received in the last five days, numbered.
Then you can specify READ 56 or PRINT 56, whatever you usually do.
Your MCImail manual has all this information, of course.

I never did comment on your posts on rubber banding. I think you were
quite right in your suggestions of how the rubber band demo's can be
taken to illustrate multiple levels of control.
I now have a vision of a "board game" which should be able to illustrate
the Marken spread sheet using rubber bands. Will report later.
Best, Dag

P.S. MCImail sometimes transmits poorly. I have had success going back
using the SCAN DESK and rePRINTing documents when the phone lines were
at fault./
