Where can I find step by step idiot- proof instructions for reversing the alterations made - or is this not possible? We are a list of less than a dozen "listowners". We have never had any spam on this list. We'd recognize spam. We'd deal with it. But we also want any member of one other list [unoff-mensa-uk-l] to be able to email us with their problems - and we want unknown people to be able to contact us to request membership [of unoff-mensa-uk-l]. I trust there is a way. Ron
