hi there. I was pretty nicely confused by the listprocessor what doesn't seem to add a reply-to: field to the mail headers. Anyone willing to explain or fix it? Concerning removing the "magick" apostrophes I'd like to advise you to check ROM (Rivers of MUD) code which is freely distributed as far as I know. For example you just type c arm <target> to cast armour upon ssomeone. But when the spell consist of two words, you have to enclose it unless the other word is considered as a target. regards, margus Forwarded message: > From owner-circle@pvv.unit.no Sun Feb 18 01:41:55 1996 > Date: Sat, 17 Feb 1996 15:34:08 -0800 (PST) > From: ShadowLord <dkoepke@california.com> > To: circle@pvv.unit.no > Subject: Various things... > Message-Id: <Pine.BSD/.3.91.960217151755.14465A-100000@global.california.com> > Mime-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > Sender: owner-circle@pvv.unit.no > Precedence: bulk > > > > I was thinking of ways to remove the "magick" apostrophes need in cast > (eg., so you can type "cast create water").
