As part of a general cleanup here, I'm unsubscribing our local exploder
from some LISTSERV lists. All is going well, except for one list. This is
on a 1.7a server and is showing several oddities:
First, even though we are still getting postings from the server, it claims
we are not subscribed to the list:

Note that the UNSUB I sent to LISTSERV@RPIECS that generated the above was
sent via interactive SEND, not by mail. Thus, the only way LISTSERV could have
discovered the personal name "Notes Poster Daemon" was to look me up in it's
subscriber database. Weird.
Second, the "Not subscribed" message suggests that I REVIEW the list to see
if I'm subscribed under an alias. That's not likely, since I was the user who
did the subscribe in the first place, and I have the mailed confirmation mes-
sage on file, and it says "BBOARD@SPCVXA". However, I try to REVIEW anyway, and
get the "this is a secret, I'll only send you the header" message. Should the
part of the "Not subscribed" message that says:

be changed to not suggest a REVIEW if REVIEW=Owner?
