Post by thread:[PICLIST] [Admin]: Unsubscribing

I have this problem every time I go away - I look at the PIClist page to find out how to unsubscribe... and there's nothing there! So I ask the list owners to unsubscribe me - sorry once again... maybe this time you could put a link on the page to tell us how to do it ourselves? Better still a short form, like I have at the bottom of my page: http://guardian.curtin.edu.au/cga Chris -- Dr. Chris Kirtley MD PhD Associate Professor HomeCare Technologies for the 21st Century (Whitaker Foundation) NIDRR Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on TeleRehabilitation Dept. of Biomedical Engineering, Pangborn 105B Catholic University of America 620 Michigan Ave NE Washington, DC 20064 Tel. 202-319-6247, fax 202-319-4287 Email: spam_OUTkirtleyTakeThisOuTcua.edu http://engineering.cua.edu/biomedical Clinical Gait Analysis: http://guardian.curtin.edu.au/cga Send subscribe/unsubscribe to .....listprocKILLspam@spam@info.curtin.edu.au -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

See James, it's not just me who has security set to high on their browser, so piclist.com doesn't work as intended. To unsubscribble, send an email to listservKILLspammitvma.mit.edu If I tell you exactly what to say the listserver might intercept this message but I will encode it, so decode it and put it in the body of your message U*N*S*U*B*S*C*R*I*B*E P*I*C*L*I*S*T Best of luck.

From the piclist.com web page, the link labelled "PICLIST Mailing List information (including subscribe & posting directions)" is the one. Also, the message sent to everyone that subscribes - yes, it *is* quite long, but there's a lot there - tells three different ways. That's one of the reasons the very top line of that message is "Please save this message for future reference!" -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | He that is slow to believe anything and | everything is of great understanding, '91 GS500E | for belief in one false principle is the Morgantown WV | beginning of all unwisdom. part 2 233 bytes content-type:application/pgp-signature (decode) part 3 146 bytes -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

Actually: It doesn't do it NOW. It DID nail me once, though, as I attempted to send out a "How to unsub" FAQ to the list, over a year ago; I was QUITE annoyed! I think it's an MIT Postmaster-level option somewhere, but maybe it's part of the "Jory Magic" package <G> Just know it WORKED quite well at one time... Once burned is twice (or more) shy, not unwise to encode this... Mark -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.

If you go to the list home page at http://www.piclist.com there is no JavaScript or other tricks required or used. Each link is expanded to the full, standard, non-JavaScript or whatever, basic link that no browser (even lynx) should have a problem with. The tricks only come in when trying to get to a sub page directly rather than via the home page. --- James Newton (PICList Admin #3) RemoveMEjamesnewtonTakeThisOuTpiclist.com 1-619-652-0593 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com or .org {Original Message removed}

Dear Mike, OK - but who reads a message telling you how to unsubscribe BEFORE the day you need it? Actually, National Airport is fog-bound, so I've cancelled my trip. Still think a CGI form is the best way to handle these things, though.

Not everyone HAS cgi access, remember. Particularly those with text-based only e-mail, don't necessarily HAVE access to a browser, *at all*. (More than one visually disabled list member on here, also, I'd bet - Net-Tamer, Arachne, Dos Lynx, Unix Lynx, Unix Pine, etc. are all text-based. There's a local freenet for e-mail in Seattle, scn.org, which is text BBS based basically.) Easiest to throw the hints out so people can sorta remember those things - those who save PICList mail can then access all those hints easily... I'm moving to text-based for PICList probably in the future, as an Admin I can fortunately throw myself off the list easily if it comes to that <EG> (It'd be nice to walk around with a palmtop, reading mail when I have 5 spare minutes, instead of always having to sit at a desktop to read the whole thing!)
