Some mailing list software has a "nomail" setting, where you can remain a subscribed member of the list but not receive the posts - particularly useful when you want to retain customised settings or access restricted archives. I think this is the sort of thing the original poster was thinking of when asking the question.
We do not have this option on this list. You're either subscribed and receive the posts, or you're not subscribed and don't.
