Index of Subjects Hi Chris, re. Angus, Dave: Coincidentally, I actually looked this up yesterday on the web in order to tell someone else how to subscribe, because I'd forgotten. The instruction there was, as you say in the first part, go to the address: majordomo@chebucto.ns.ca but in the subject line, in addition to "subscribe", add the list identifier, so type in: subscribe NatureNS Presumably unsubscribing would have the same format, namely: unsubscribe NatureNS This was the specific instruction about subscribing given on-line, so if in unsubscribing the word "NatureNS" is omitted and <majordomo@chebucto.ns.ca> controls more than one list, how would it know which list you are unsubscribing from? Maybe it has a blanket delete that deletes you from every list on there, so "unsubscibe" alone would work anyway (?). Might be mildly interesting to get this conundrum resolved, at least for one person, me.
