GREETINGS,

THIS EMAIL WOULD INDICATE THAT I AM ON THE SUBSCRIPTION
LIST.

HOWEVER, I GOT ANOTHER EMAIL, THAT CAME IN AT PRECISELY THE
SAME TIME AS THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE THAT I AM FORWARDING YOU.
THAT INDICATES THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE ADDING ME TO THE
LIST. I'VE PASTED IT IN THE BLOCK OF TEXT BELOW, BUT ABOVE
THE EMAIL THAT I AM FORWARDING YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

That explains where you go with subscription questions. The address is NOT the same as the one used for posting on the list. I suspect you didn't correctly reply to the original message.

Your other message is an independent point. It has nothing to do with whether you're subscribed or not, but simply is an acknowledgement that you're a new poster to the list, and includes some suggestions. In fact, I get that message sometimes, even though I was 3rd highest poster here last year. It's perfectly legal to post without being a subscriber, as you could be browing the messages online.

BTW, all upper-case is considered shouting. It makes a message much harder to read, and more likely to be ignored.
