Members are unsubscribing due to the unusual volume of Alpine-L messages
(407 emails in just the first 11 days of January 2011, an all time
record). Here are a few Alpine-L subscription options to help deal with
the volume.
A. Login into your Alpine-L account page (use your password):
http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l
...and change your subscription to "digest" mode.
Many members report difficulties navigating the options, or they forget
their passwords, so feel free to email me directly to request setting
your account to "digest".
B. You can also set your Alpine-L subscription for "No Mail", which
means you get no direct Alpine-L emails and must remember to visit a
weblink that lists the messages, allowing browsing at your leisure. You
can do this similar to Step #A above, or email me directly and ask to be
put on "No Mail". If you do this, you have two options for viewing the
current archived Alpine-L messages:
1. Browse to the Alpine-L archives here
(click the "date" link on most current month, scroll to BOTTOM)
http://mailman.science.uu.nl/pipermail/alpine-l/
2. Browse to a new Archive viewing service, The Mail Archive
(display by date, new emails at the TOP, or by "thread-view")
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/index.html
The new option called The Mail Archive is better because it preserves
legible email formatting, unlike the regular Alpine-L archives where
some emails display as mile-long lines of text requiring scrolling way
to the right, making reading difficult. This new option does not yet
have much "historical" Alpine-L messages, only those from starting from
when I signed up the service starting January 10, 2011.

this point in time ;-)
