So what? Unsubscribe while you're on vacation. It's obnoxious to send this kind of spam to strangers on mailing lists. Just don't do it. Please :-) > Maybe the solution is just not to go on vacation. Or temporarily subscribe, then sign back up on return. Or -- shock horror -- get a gmail / hotmail / yahoo / etc account and use that for your mailing lists, rather than your work account. That way you're not bound by your employer's mail policies, and you don't have to futz around with unsubscribing & resubscribing, and you don't get on the nerves of the rest of the people on the list. Complaining that your employer makes you do this kind of thing is a pretty thin excuse when webmail accounts are so easy to find... And as a bonus, in your case, you can be liberated from the tyrrany that is Lotus Notes :-) -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
