I've not (yet) tried unsubscribing. However, subscription seems to work using that technique, so unnsub presumably does too. More precisely, I've created an account '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', forwarded to me, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I sent a subscribe request pretending to be 'dummy' - confirmation came to 'mike' and was duly responded to as 'dummy'. Seems to have successfully subscribed 'dummy', as I've just received 2 copies of a test email to the list (for the need of which I apologise). All without access to dummy's actual account - just knowing the forwarding is there. Now to unsub 'dummy' the same way......... I hope :-) -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
