In the Confirmation email, there is NO link to hit that completes the sign-up process (aka Confirmation). You are *already* signed up for the newsletter at that point. Including links that enable you to "manage" your subscriptions are a whole different matter. BTW... Your use of "->" is rather confusing. The > is used to indicated QUOTED text. Prefixing that with a dash just looks like a typo. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
