I almost misunderstood too. Dotan is not the only one to be somewhat confusing though: I've always thought that the way Mailman formulates that page is confusing. It always seems to me that "(The subcribers list is only available to the list administrator.)" seems to cover the whole "Python-list Subscribers" section instead of just the first part of it. I think this layout would be much clearer (although this is actually a Mailman issue, not a Python issue): Python-list Subscribers Unsubscribe: To unsubscribe from Python-list, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter your subscription email address: _______ [Unsubscribe or edit options] If you leave the field blank, you will be prompted for your email address Subscriber list (only available to the list administrator): Enter your admin address and password to visit the subscribers list: Admin address: _______ Password: _______ [Visit Subscriber List[ -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
