I work in a Learning Center, and we get a lot of calls from people who
have a VAXmail distribution list already created and would like to be able
to use that in ALL-IN-1. Or, they may have gotten a VAXmail message as
part of a VAXmail distribution list and they'd like to take that
VAXmail distribution list and somehow cut and paste it into an ALL-IN-1
distribution list.
My wish is that it would be possible to cut and paste names and
addresses into an ALL-IN-1 distribution list.
Thanks,
Kathy Norton

The general idea (of having a proper editor for distribution lists) is
a good one.
However, people should realise that it won't necessarily help in cases
such as you mention, as Vaxmail distribution lists are typically not
usable within ALL-IN-1 ('cos the addresses will be wrong, unless
they're local users and their VMS account names are the same as their
ALL-IN-1 account names).
Incidentally, distribution lists are in fact stored as simple ASCII
text files, so it would be quite possible to make a little
customisation which allowed them to be editted with a normal editor.
The only problem with this is that it would allow users to enter
invalid address into the list, which would only be found when they
tried to use the list to address mail.
Dave.
