This was just discussed on this list last week. Here is a 'canned' response I send to folks who complain to me about this (another, much longer and more helpful 'canned' response was posted to this list just yesterday): Try this, I'm told this works almost all the time: 1) e-mail your 'sub' request to listserv 2) when you get the request to confirm: e-mail your 'ok' command to listserv *do not* use 'reply'
