No -- if you submit a CHANGE request via e-mail from your old (subscribed) address, you'll have to respond to the confirmation request before the CHANGE goes through. Until then, there is no change in your subscription status. Your messages from your GMAIL.COM address were being moderated because that's the default setting for the LSTOWN-L list -- new subscribers and non-subscribed addresses get moderated until the list owner turns off the REVIEW option for them (in order to keep spam off the list). Messages with a subject line of "plz ignore" are not likely to be approved for distribution ;-) I have manually updated your subscription to the new address -- all of your previous subscription options are intact. -- Liam Kelly Senior Consulting Analyst L-Soft international [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------- Read news, tips, and other information in our 'LISTSERV at Work' archives at <http://www.lsoft.com/news/newsletter-us.asp>
