"me too" Actually, we know that people can't / won't read bottom banners, so at strategic times of the year, we try to pre-empt those on-list useless messages. Here's one we used on CARR-L. You'd need to modify it of course. Date: Fri, 3 May 2002 05:36:45 -0400 From: Elliott Parker <[log in to unmask]> Subject: administrivium -- almost that time of year MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Dear Fellow CARR-Lers: It is getting to be that time of year where some will be leaving for the summer, changing e-mail addresses, retiring, or hiring new staff. Please do your part in keeping the Internet "clean" by unsubscribing (if appropriate) from your e-mail lists such as CARR-L. Just click n' send (no SUBJECT: nor body of text) ... mailto:[log in to unmask] If that process does not work for you, then very often it is because you have had a change of email address (though you continue to receive at the old), in which case simply email: mailto:[log in to unmask] and ask for assistance (let us know if you've had a change of address too). We hope you'll come back and visit. To subscribe to CARR-L: mailto:[log in to unmask] Again, if there are problems subscribing, contact your list-owners: mailto:[log in to unmask] giving them a clue as to the difficulty. /Elliott and Pete
