Sometimes things are a bit spooky. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong but I assume that unsubscribe requests are processed using some form of regex which doesn't always work. For instance, a few months ago I was subscribed as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I subscribed to all the debian lists I frequent as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then sent unsubscribe requests for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Imagine my surprise when "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" was unsubscribed instead 9and no, I didn't send the requests from my incanus.net account). Good luck! -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] A young man wrote to Mozart and said: Q: "Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started?" A: "A symphony is a very complex musical form, perhaps you should begin with some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony." Q: "But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old." A: "But I never asked anybody how."
