Hi Jay P Hailey, hope you are having a nice day >>>From: Ron Michael >>>To: 7wcmail >>>DROP >>Huh? JPH>The fellow is trying to unsubscribe without RTFM first. Ain't really that guys fault. Notice the number 7 in the To: line? That's due to the one y2k bug in the bluewave mail reader. It only screws up when it creates the reply file to upload. The bit that stores the year is a 2 digit spot (ie `99') but when '00 came it tries to use 3 digits (ie `100') and that bumps everything down a space. Thus when the maildoor on the bbs looks for `wcmail' and gets `7wcmail' (or `anynumber'wcmail) it doesn't know to trap the msg and use it as a command instead. There is a patch but not everyone remembers to use it. -=> Yours sincerely, Paul Williams <=- ... my squirrels are kinda nutty these days..."--Jas.
