Well it looks like I'll be unsubscribing from all yahoogroups mailing lists
shortly. When I signed up for all of those lists, I had done so with e-mail
method sending e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses since
their web interface is so aweful it's unuseable with the browsers I use.
Any idea as to the date of this change? If yahoogroups.com automatically
unsubscribes all of their blind users who subscribed this way it won't be a
loss but I tend to think we'll be inundated with spam by both
yahoogroups.com and all of their spammers trying to get subscriptions and
money afterwards.
