I think the lists are using mailman. if thats the case you can make a new list, 'edubuntu-users' or whatever, and add everyone to it and remove them from the old list (dont ask, just do). all the user gets is 1 or 2 emails to say 'your out of the old list' and 'your in the new'. someone correct me if im wrong, but thats my reading of it. kk > > regards, -- Karl Goetz The buck stops there -> $ -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
