Sorry - I meant to say "self unsub" ( the "unsubscribe" email command)

Hmm - so the address DID appear in users.txt alone - without the user's
name?
If that's the case, then I can add everyone's address to users.txt, and they
can unsub themselves (well, hopefully they won't ALL do that.)
Once or twice in the past, I've tried to unsubscribe an address using an
email command, but failed.
Always figured that was because there was no name and address in users.txt
I new the name had to be an exact match, but I wouldn't have guessed that NO
name would work.
I should test that.
