MACHINE
> addresses [ie. "request" address] and NOT to the list address, as that is
> ONLY for posting queries or responding to other member's messages. Digest

> Digest!!! Please read these instructions!

> To assure success, in your email, you have to type the "Command Word" to

> U N S U B S C R I B E
> OFF
> UNSRIBE
> UNSUBRIBE
> NO MAIL
> UNSCRIB
> UNSUSCIBE
> REMOVE
> TAKE ME OFF!

> None of these will work. To get off the list, follow these 5 steps:
>
> 1. Open a NEW message (do NOT simply "reply" to this message, as Re: in
the
> subject line causes your message to be ignored by the robot)
> 2. In the "Address" box, type ... or copy/paste
> for DIGEST Mode members
> for LIST Mode members
> 3. In the "Subject" box, do not type anything at all.
> 4. In the "Message" box, type (without typos) only the word UNSUBSCRIBE
> 5. Hit "Send"
>
> ps. Write in PLAIN TEXT only, as the MACHINES do not accept HTML messages.
> Expect to receive a few messages after a successful unsubscribe [ie.
after
> you receive your "you have been removed" message], as the mail which
> was queued will still be delivered to you.
