Hi All!! Steve- I dont think that hitting "remove" will take one off
the Muninet mailing list, but it wont get you off the HIAA list either.
It will just post the message to the muninet board.

Two points:

1. NEVER, EVER try to take yourself off a spam list by sending the message
"remove".  The spammer who gets a remove message will not remove you and,
more importantly, will now know he has a live address and will sell your
address to other spammers. You will get more junk that way.  Just delete
spam and get a good filter program.

2.  Why are we getting such junk on our muninet list?
Who provided the list addresses to HIAA?
