LEAVING THE LIST
================
To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  with a command to remove you from the list.  The list 
manager  controls who belongs to the list.  

For example:
 --------------------------------------------------------------
       From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
         To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    Subject: <not needed>

    UNSUBSCRIBE
 --------------------------------------------------------------
