Rob and others, I just read your email. This has been a long standing problem. I have the solution outlined on my website: http://www.abarnhart.com/faq/ Click on Topic B, the look at B003 on the resultant page. Here it is: B003 Q: How do I subscribe to the email list / digest Revised: 29 July 05 A: 1) Send the following command in the body of a mail message: SUBSCRIBE to chile-heads-request@globalgarden.com (for list) or chile-heads-digest-request@globalgarden.com (for digest) Note: Be sure that your Reply To: is either missing or its entry is correct. If present in your email, the 'Reply To:' will be used (instead of the 'From:') 2) When you get the authorization back, don't send it to 'majordomo' as instructed; instead send it to the same address you used to send the original request. (Mike disabled 'Majordomo' some time ago, as it was collecting enormous SPAM.) AndyB
