solution, since debian lists are open to anyone to post.

 I don't get it.  I never had any trouble with this (but I don't have

 I'm sure this is really annoying.  (I prefer usenet to mailing lists

 gmane.org?

Want my script?  I notice you are using slrn, what I do to reply is
press ESC-1-F, enter a bogus address a, then my script modifies the
headers as appropriate before forking the editor.

It will cost you $20, same as in town.

It really is behind me RIGHT NOW!

Whatever I did a few years ago (and I'm *still* sure it involved
subscribing and then disabling mail, which I know how to find on the
mailman web UI) is still working but I'd like an alternative in case
it mysteriously stops.

SUBSCIRBE!!!
Oops, I mean, yes please.

 I'm sure this is what I did a few years ago, but I can no longer find
 the link to set this option (disable mail delivery) on the debian-user
 mailing list interface.  Where is it?

Well, that's a new one! Usually this list gets flooded with mails from 
people trying to UNsubscribe :-)

Anyway, what you need to do is click here:
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You don't need to type anything, just send off the empty mail with this 
subject tag.

Welcome to the list, it's a great place to be if you need help!
