Hi Steve, Yes, you are correct. The command should be: unsubscribe naturens end I'm not sure if "unsubscribe" by itself will work. It might unsubscribe you to multiple lists (if you happened to be subscribed to more than one list at <majordomo@chebucto.ns.ca>. A list of commonly used mailing list commands (there are other more arcane ones) used on the CCN implementation of majordomo are located at: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Help/MailList/MjDUserCommands.html Various documents pertaining to mailing lists are available at: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Help/MailList/index.html Cheers!
