No. That message is saying that somehow your mailer seems to have
given
<MHF STUDY LIST <mhf_study@psyctc.sghms.ac.uk> as the outgoing target
address. That has two left < signs and only the one right > sign so
the software choked on it. Can you set up an address just as:
mhf_study@psyctc.sghms.ac.uk
in your addess book in Pegasus (I think that's what you use isn't
it?) That will be more reliable.

I've responded to your message below.

That sounds like a good idea to make sure I'm up to date. Certainly
one or two variables I checked didn't have explanatory labels.
Probably Sod's law that I managed to hit the one or two that didn't.

Tell her to read the SPSS manual he says irritably! I think you can
do it within the "SAVE OUTFILE" command. I can find out from the
help system in SPSS if she draws a blank there.
