        Please don't do that -- I don't think that would help things. Usually
when I can't unsubscribe from a service, there are are few possible reasons:

1) I am trying to unsubscribe from an account that is different from the one
        that I subscribed from. I assume that you have tried sending an
        unsubscribe from the same account that the Ytsejam digest is addressed
        to for you. If I don't have access to that old account any more then
        I will have to wait for an administrator to unsubscribe me, or I could
        try to stop the mail from being forwarded to me.

2) The listserver is not working. If that is the case, I send an unsubscribe
        message to the following addresses:

ytsejam-owner@bnf.com
ytsejam-request@bnf.com <-- Have you tried this one?
listserv@bnf.com

        And the unsubscribe message has a format (in the body of the message,
NOT just the subject of the message), with nothing else in the message:

unsubscribe ytsejam

        

        Then, it is up to the administrator to unsubscribe me (or perhaps one
of those addresses will work when another didn't. The ones that usually work
for me are ytsejam-request@bnf.com and listserv@bnf.com).

        If none of those things work, I send a message so that I get Ytsejam
in digest format (one message per day) rather than a separate email for every
message. Then I use elm to filter out the Ytsejam digests so I never have
to see them. If you need help doing that, let me know.
        The format for changing to digest format is to put in the body of the
message (not the subject) the following:

set ytsejam mail digest

        You should send that message to the same places as the unsubscribe.
Good luck!

Perhaps spelling correctly would help?

  Well done- a real improvement!!

 I hope you are prepared to take responsibility for crashing numerous
intervening mail servers- sys admins tend to be a little tetchy on this
point, and I would expect mail to root at your site recommending termination
of your account- Now that would be a sure fire way of unsubscribing, but
somehow I don't think that was quite what you were aiming for.

cd europe is now on the internet just like cd.connection

telnet to 199.35.15.100
                                                            
some of the prices are outragious, but if you really need
something then...
                                                            
didn't see any bootlegs on there, did see some vinyl for sale.
