First, note the unsubscribe stuff at the bottom of Jim Allan's message, as I received it - via my company's mail server, to Outlook on my desktop. If messages RECEIVED by people using Gmane were the only ones routinely stripped of the administrivia, I would imagine that Gmane was set to strip everything past the body of incoming messages. However, I've received messages from other people, via the list, that also lacked the administrivia. Therefore, it's got to be something that the list server is doing. With luck, there'll be somebody who is: a) in charge b) actually reading the list who will: a) sort out the problem b) explain it to the rest of us. It's embarrassing to call somebody down as an asshole for not reading something... and then find out that he didn't actually receive it. As for M. A. Martin, though, he's received it in about 100 quoted messages, so he's seen it even if it gets stripped from the bottom of his received messages. HOWEVER, if the list server can mess up in the content that it sends out, perhaps it also messes up when it's supposed to send confirmation messages in response to unsubscribe attempts. Just a thought. - Kevin The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
