For the last few days, the occurrence of list members sending "unsubscribe" messages to the list posting address instead of the subscribe / unsubscribe addresses seems to be "catching," so I am posting a response to this one ON list as a reminder, rather than private. (nothing personal Darla) ........................................................................... If you have received this message, then you have tried to unsubscribe from TheShipsList, however, you have sent your request to the WRONG address, so no action has been taken. Subject: [TSL] How-to get OFF TheShipsList To get off the list, follow these 5 steps: 1. Open a NEW message (do NOT simply "reply" to this message) 2. In the "Address" box, type ... or copy/paste for DIGEST Mode members TheShipsList-D-request@rootsweb.com for LIST Mode members TheShipsList-L-request@rootsweb.com 3. In the "Subject" box, do not type anything at all. 4. In the "Message" box, type (WITHOUT typos) the word UNSUBSCRIBE 5. Hit "Send" or . . go to clickable short-cuts http://www.theshipslist.com/archive.htm 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.

I received the message but I certainly haven't tried to unsubscribe. I wonder if you're not being spammed or in some other way harrassed.
