Instead you have sent what amounts to junk mail to the entire membership of this list! Be sure to keep all welcome emails that you receive when you subscribe to a list. These emails give you all the instructions that you need. It will save you and the rest of us poor, unsuspecting list members a lot of grief. :~) To unsubscribe from any Rootsweb mailing list, send an email to [email protected] with just the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the body of the message. Just that one word and nothing else. If you use an automatic signature in your email program, turn it off. DO NOT USE YOUR REPLY FUNCTION. Replace LISTNAME with the name of the list from which you wish to unsubscribe. In this case, send your unsubscribe email to: [email protected] If you subscribed in digest mode, send your message to: [email protected] If after following the above instructions, you still have trouble getting off of a list, then the next best thing is to send an email to the list owner, asking for his or her help. This is the only person who can intervene on your behalf. Again keeping those welcome emails will provide you with this information. In this case, the list owner is Margo Burns, you may email her at [email protected] With a little planning and consideration, the Internet will be a more pleasant experience for everyone! Regards, Kathy Smith PS: I cc'd the list in case there are any more people on the list who want to get off. It seems we are getting a lot of these "remove" and "unsubscribe" messages lately!
