If the list mantainer is watching, could I make a suggestion? The above sig takes two lines. Since people not understanding how to unsubscribe would typically be novices, could we use those two lines fully and make it a bit easier on them? I've seen similar types of messages before, and the way the above is phrased is rather cryptic, and of course the mail command wouldn't work on a Windows system. How about instead making the sig something like: If you want to unsubscribe, E-Mail "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with a subject line of "unsubscribe". Or something similar. There's only a few bytes difference, but it would be far easier for a newbie to understand and would probably result in far fewer off-topic messages like we see from rik above.
