For all and ever a new account with a new password.[0] Err, are you aware that the linux.debian.user.german newsgroup is nothing else than a gatewayed mailing list, namely [EMAIL PROTECTED] And where did you subscribe to it? > However, back to the question.

Please forward that mail, then somebody can tell you. ¹ http://lists.debian.org/whitelist/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
