Like so: -- To unsubscribe: echo unsubscribe newbie | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To be temporarily off: echo set newbie nomail | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's only 3 lines with each line = 78 chars. And then there's 3 to 6 more lines for my signature. To that, I'd need a separate signature for this list, because on other lists, or private people are probably not interested in this info *grin* Let's hope Dennis is able to do something with the trailer of each mail when he comes back.

I know. I know. I still know how to type. I was wondering if it was okay to add my vcard with the information included.
