Good morning folks,

I frequently see the same folks requesting list subscription approval
again and again.  What I suspect is happening is that these folks have
employment (or retirement) that takes them away from a computer for
long periods of time. Since they do not want their inbox to get filled
with the mostly useless drivel (tongue in cheek) that this list
generates, they unsubscribe. Good plan. Except.... there's an easier
way.

Why not just set your subscription to nomail? It's easy...

to:
listserv@gerry.vanagon.com

subject is ignored

body:
set vanagon nomail

Send it.

When you're ready to receive mail again, repeat with the command:
set vanagon mail

Just that simple. And it allows to to post whenever you need/want to!
(and it makes it so I don't have to repeatedly approve the same folks.)
