It sure seems hosed to me.
You still haven't absolutely ruled out Brad's suggestion that the page is cached in a proxy server at patriot.net, but at this point, it does seem increasingly unlikely. Your OP said >So: this afternoon I unsubscribed myself, using lynx, from one of my >other addresses, because a member had written there was a problem. >And my "unsubscribe" seemed to go through, and I got, at this address, >a message from mailman-bounces that indeed "I", at my other address, >had been removed . . . It is hard to imagine how that owner notification of the unsubscribe was sent if it hadn't actually been done. You also said >I can test my E-list in various ways, because I'm subscribed from >a couple of addresses, in addition to adminning it from the E-address >you're getting this from. Are you certain the address you unsubscribed is the EXACT address you still see on the membership list? What happens if you check the 'unsub' box on the membership list and 'submit'? And, is that address still recieving list mail? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
