RootsWeb: ESSEX-UK-L Re: Unsubscribe

Hello,

Isn't there some confusion here?  Herb's message about unsubscribing was

sent to the Essex-UK Rootsweb list, so I assume that is the list he wanted

to unsubscribe from, not the british-geanealogy one.  The instructions you

have given wouldn't work for a Rootsweb list.

To unsubscribe from the Essex-UK Rootsweb list, send a message in plain

text, with just the single word     unsubscribe    and nothing else at all

(so no explanations about why you want to unsubscribe) in both the subject

line and the message itself.  Send the message to

 if you are subscribed in List Mode, or to

 if you are in digest mode.

Incidentally, I'm certainly not criticising Rod; perhaps Herb was also

trying to unsubscribe from the Essex list of british-genealogy, and Rod's

reply got posted to the Rootsweb list by mistake.
