I opened another gmail account just so could test subscribing to the C-H list. Already have a different gmail account and use it primarily for storing junk that I don't want to lose if have a computer crash. (too lazy to properly backup with CD or DVDs) 1. Opened a new email form and filled out to subscribe: http://www.fototime.com/660809BA6B1EA91/orig.jpg 2. Selected Plain Text which changed it to this & sent it: http://www.fototime.com/73F952026069247/orig.jpg 3. Got confirmation back: http://www.fototime.com/D3CB0A4B5BC6F1B/orig.jpg 4. Sent authorization code back (note that did not follow directions to send to Majordomo, but sent to the original addy instead) http://www.fototime.com/82A8CA026787A69/orig.jpg 5. Got authorization confirmation back: http://www.fototime.com/9E3A547199406DB/orig.jpg 6. Welcome to chile-heads! http://www.fototime.com/279B92099EEF5EA/orig.jpg Not sure why it worked for me and not for Mary-Anne. Maybe someone else here knows?
