I would never have noticed this except that I spent all day editing an
address list and someone actually complained about getting some mail
list mail after they had sent an unsubscribe message.  After some
testing I confirmed that if I have an address list open for a mail list,
my subscribe/unsubscribe attempts to a list are not processed until the
address list window is closed.

I would have thought that an open address list would be opened read only
and polled occasionally to see if it changed, and then reloaded when
changes occurred.  When edited directly, it would be opened (in another
thread) read-write momentarily during the add/deletion operation, and
reloaded. 

At least that's what I'd like to see so an address list which is open
wouldn't affect (un)subscribes.  Any chance this is improved upon in an
unofficial release? (like the 4.0.8 release mentioned occassionally). 
Maybe this wouldn't be possible in OS9 however...
