Thanks Steve.   I finally figured out what the problem was with my ELIst
submissions and got the echoes back on the list. Now I need to get them
back up on the backbone distribution....

I got  the follwing echoes elisted, and will post the announcements in them later.

    MACCOM
    MAC_DEV
    MAC_FORSALE
    MAC_GAMES
    MAC_OS 
    MAC_TELEFINDER
    SYSTEM7

I have also submitted updated to add the following echoes

     MAC_COMM
     MAC_HW
     MAC_SW

I plan to move all of the traffic from SYSTEM7 to MAC_OS if no one will
objects, so please request both of these echoes from your feeds, and after
everone is re-linked, we will pull the plug on SYSTEM7.  I would also like
to move the traffic from MACCOMM to MAC_COMM, in the same manner, if no one
objects.

The problem was with the formatting of my submissions, but aggravated by an
incorrect ERROR MESSAGE returned by the robot.  An example is the
followiing:

>Your submission for Area "MACOS" was not processed due to these errors.

The problem, I believe is that THERE IS NO ADDR tag, but there is a
requirement that email submissions from non-fido addresses have a pair of
lines like following at the top of the submission.

>FROM olearydq{at}kz.eaze.net
>TAG MACOS

This information is burried in the online dox I found, but NOT FOUND AT ALL
in the error messages the robot produces!!
