_________________________________________________________________
Please!  Don't send subscribe or unsubscribe messages to the
mm-announcement-list address.  Following the convention for many
mailing lists, send the requests to

    mm-announcement-list-request@cs.ucsd.edu

I presume the people who are sending subscribe requests are doing so
because someone else who is on the list forwarded an interesting
announcement to them.  If you are that someone else, please forward
this message, too, so they know to subscribe to the right place.

On the other hand, if you are wondering how you got on this list in
the first place, it may be because, in addition to a long list of
individual addresses, this list forwards to several other lists
including:

    imaarc@sst.ncsl.nist		[these addresses are
    mm-sig@jnt				intentionally truncated
    wg-all@rare				so people don't start
    mmis@mailbase			blindly sending unsubscribe
    sgml@mailbase			messages to them, too.]
    upturn@rare
    nossdav-dist@telecomm.hpl
    iepanel@dcs.glasgow
    opendoc-interest@cil

If you don't like that, send your complaint to the -request address
above.  Please don't complain to the main list because it just annoys
us all, and please don't complain to me because I'm just an unlucky
soul who happens to get at least two copies of every message sent to
this list.

[Note that my message was Bcc'd to the mm-announcement-list so that if
people reply to this message despite my pleas to the contrary, the
replies won't go to the list.  I also recommend this practice to the
people who post the original announcements to avoid the problem of
subscribe/unsubscribe followups.]
