Most UNIX mail readers can't handle it and people just ignore mails with it. Did you send the authorization mail to freebsd-announce ? That was a mistake. It has to go to majordomo@freebsd.org, as the mail with the authorization message very clearly stated. However, in spite of the clear instructions provided many people send to the wrong list. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@muc.de garyj@fkr.cpqcorp.net gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
