I have tried getting rid of banners like this: -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> Tired of searching for an apartment? Try Viva! It's fast and free. Now serving Dallas, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, Denver and Las Vegas. Rent by September 30th - get $100 cash! http://click.egroups.com/1/9154/16/_/461700/_/968288860/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------_-> with the following setting in the group parameters of the mail group handling the list: (banner . "\n-------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~>\n.*\n.*\n.*\n.*\n---------------------------------------------------------------------_->\n") Is it me who has gotten the syntax of the banner setting wrong? Or doesn't banner suppresion work on banners not at the end of the messages? Thanx! - Steinar
