Timothy and Jim,

unsubscribe TANGO-L

It's 2 words, and sent to the LISTSERV@MITVMA.MIT.EDU address.

Folks need to read the welcome message and save it. It's all in there.
They should stop expecting the list administrator to do every little
thing for them. If they were able to subscribe to the list they are
clearly capable of unsubscribing, it's just 2 more letters added in front
of the word "subscribe".



0. How to unsubscribe from this list (and how NOT to)
=====================================================
To unsubscribe from this list, send the command
unsubscribe TANGO-L
to LISTSERV@MITVMA.MIT.EDU. If you need help unsubscribing an old e-mail
address that you no longer use, send e-mail to
TANGO-L-Request@MITVMA.MIT.EDU, indicating the complete address that you
want removed (or, if you don't remember it exactly, any information that
will help identify it, such as portions of the old address). Do NOT send
e-mail to the entire list asking to be removed from the list, as you may
get 500 copies of these instructions telling you the right way of doing
it!

1. Introduction -- Why you should read and save this message
============================================================
TANGO-L is a public electronic mailing list for Discussion of Any Aspect
of the Argentine Tango. It is sponsored by the MIT Ballroom Dance Club,
but is a general discussion list for everyone in the worldwide Argentine
Tango community.

Please read this message completely and then SAVE IT FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE, even if you are familiar with LISTSERV and/or the TANGO-L
list. This might look like a waste of disk space now, but in 6 months you
will be glad you saved this information when you realize that you cannot
remember what are the lists you are subscribed to, or what is the command
to leave the list to avoid filling up your mailbox while you are on
vacations. In fact, you should create a new mail folder for subscription
confirmation messages like this one, and for additional "welcome
messages" from the list owners that you are will occasionally receive
after subscribing to a new list.


d. You can also turn mail off temporarily with:
set TANGO-L nomail
This may be useful to do if you are going to be away
for some time and don't want your mail to pile up.

e. To turn mail back on (that was turned off with the
"set TANGO-L nomail" command), use the command:
set TANGO-L mail (for undigested), or
set TANGO-L digest (for digested)

f. To unsubscribe completely from a list, use:
signoff TANGO-L or
unsubscribe TANGO-L
