Thank you Karsten for straightening me out. I have seen other lists where, at the bottom (like this one) there is something like the following:
-- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I have seen folks misinterpret this (or just not look where they are inserting "unsubscribe"). Thought this was one of those "obvious" fixes, and, of course, I had not yet read the threads showing there really is a problem here. On Friday 20 April 2001 01:14 pm, Karsten M.
