First of all, I'm not disputing you. But the whole point of my asking you to be sure you include the original message in your reply is that, for every system I know besides Freelist, that's precisely how it *doesn't work. Most list servers don't require you to include the message in your reply, Freelist is the one exception I know of. That's why that's the first thing we tell anyone who's having trouble subscribing to a freelists list. I had the problem at the beginning, and was used to not including the original in a reply toa mailing list confirmation. It was precisely because I knew the drill with every other provider that I had trouble with Freelists. I'm not disputing you, I'm just telling you why this is always the first question we ask.
