Nope, you did it right, and the LISTSERV robot unsubscribed you. That does not prevent any messages already queued from reaching you, which is why I will cc this to you by email, since you are no longer receiving list messages.

Yep, and occasionally I'll do that with my MIME decoder. Most people won't though, which is why I just suggest using UUENCODE which our software will process.

I don't to wound them. I want to get clean kills. > > Melvin --------------------------- I suggest a .22 cal. R1, or if you can afford it (and can deal with scuba tanks or a handpump), a Career 707 in .22. The .177 is not as reliable at knocking game down as the .22, and the .25 is not as accurate. Fifty yards is a bit extreme for squirrels, so unless you can hit a quarter everytime at that distance and,or anything in between just judging the distance by eye, sneak up closer (I also think a rangefinder is a great idea). ld --- QScan/PCB v1.19b / 01-0671 * Origin: AirPower Home of AIRGUN*HQ 610-259-2193 (1:273/408) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 165 AIRGUNS Ref: F3E00017 Date: 03/06/98 From: LARRY DURHAM Time: 01:17pm \/To: ALL (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: Brainfart Message-ID: <35003532.303F8742@mindspring.com> Newsgroups: AIRGUN.LIST Fletcheror wrote: > In a message dated 98-03-06 02:14:59 EST, you write: > > << Sorry, Brainfart caused me to send graphics 'cause I forgot the list > doesnt support this kinda stuff.
