tech. problem with "Request"?

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear Seelangs colleagues:

I tried 3 times to submit a "Request" for the texts of today's messages, 
but each time I received only the strange reply attached below.  I had 
submitted my "Request" by clicking "Reply," then "Send," same as I do 
daily. Did anyone else receive this same strange reply?

Puzzled,
Steven P Hill.

Your search request did not contain  any valid message index number. You may
want to try the LISTSERV database functions instead; send an "INFO DATABASE"
command for more information.
