Re: Modify

[David R. <d.r...@qu...>]

To answer my own question, and after looking up the constant value, it
seems the problem is that on that particular entry the attribute
'mailListModerator' did not exist.  

So, it seems the attribute must exist to do the full delete.  So, anyway
to force the delete? ie., just ignore it if the attribute does not
exist? or do I have to find out if the attributes are there?

Thanks,

Dave.
