The correct way to unsubscribe is to send a message to listproc(a)u.washington.edu with the line below being the only one in the message: unsubscribe classiccmp Posted publicly for the benefit of all. See end of post for better instructions I got back from the listproc after my failed first attempt to explain this. On Tue, 25 Aug 1998, C.

[Last web site update: 08/09/98] ---- Dear user, every time you send email to list CLASSICCMP the system analyzes the first line of your message in order to catch misdirected requests. It appears that the first line in your message may have been such a request: UNSUBSCRIBE CLASSICCMP The first word, "UNSUBSCRIBE", matches one of ListProc's command words, and as a result your mail was not distributed to the list. If your intent was to send a request please resend it to the command processor listproc(a)u.washington.edu (not classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu). If your intent was to post a message to this list please rephrase the first line of your message so that it does not look like a request and resubmit it to classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu, and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. If you need further assistance please contact the owner(s) bcw(a)u.washington.edu .
