Mailbase, which hosts Lis-Middle-East, will shut down from 23rd December to January 3rd inclusive. While messages can still technically be sent to the list during this period, if there are any problems, they will not be resolved until early January, so it would be easier if messages were not sent over the Christmas/New Year break. ---------------------- Paul Auchterlonie List-Owner Lis-Middle-East University of Exeter E-Mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
