Bruce, I understand perfectly. Thanks, but no need to explain. I would ask the same questions if I were running a list. I do find it very unusual however that freelists is the only listserv that I have this problem with. I still have the [email protected] messages if anyone is interested in figuring it out, but probably more trouble than it is worth.
Allison very kindly took care of it manually, so I am now subscribed. Thanks. --Warmest regards, --Rick Alfaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Toews Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 6:02 PM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: RE: Problem subscribing to blind replay list First of all, I'm not disputing you. But the whole point of my asking you to be sure you include the original message in your reply is that, for every system I know besides Freelist, that's precisely how it *doesn't work. Most list servers don't require you to include the message in your reply, Freelist is the one exception I know of. That's why that's the first thing we tell anyone who's having trouble subscribing to a freelists list. I had the problem at the beginning, and was used to not including the original in a reply toa mailing list confirmation. It was precisely because I knew the drill with every other provider that I had trouble with Freelists. I'm not disputing you, I'm just telling you why this is always the first question we ask. bruce -- Bruce Toews Skype ID: o.canada E-mail and MSN/Windows Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LiveJournal: http://brucetola.livejournal.com Radio Show and Podcast: http://www.totw.net Web Site (including info on my weekly commentaries): http://www.ogts.net Info on the Best TV Show of All Time: http://www.cornergas.com On Tue, 27 Feb 2007, Rick Alfaro wrote: > Chris, > > I am not using Outlook Express, I am using Outlook 2003 but in any > case, I am very certain it isn't anything I am doing or not doing on > my end.
