notebooks and other files in the AUTOCAT archives.
SET AUTOCAT REPRO/NOREPRO - Governs whether or not LISTSERV
distributes a copy of each of your own messages to you as part of the

** The above commands can be sent by
sending the command as a one line message to: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU
Multiple commands may be sent in a single mail message as long as
each command is on a separate line.
Please don't send LISTSERV commands to the AUTOCAT address.
The LISTSERV address is for issuing COMMANDS, while
the AUTOCAT address is for messages intended for the
distribution to the subscribership.
