A bunch of things have unfortunately got in the way of my Mlmmj work. I can't promise that I'll make good progress now, but I certainly hope to. So, following up some loose ends before I do a final implementation sprint and push out a beta or release candidate. >> I'm thinking of changing unsubscribe so it unsubscribes the user for >> any/all versions they are subscribed to, and subscribe so that if you >> are already subscribed to a different version, you 'switch' to the >> version you request the subscription for, ... >>>> Is there any use case for being subscribed to multiple versions of >>>> the same list?

I am going to use this approach. I may implement the ability to do a subscribe-both via email, but this will not be documented in the default list texts. The default list texts will use the model described above. One question for mail experts and sysadmins out there: Should 'switching' (i.e. changing an existing subscription to a different version) require moderation or confirmation? I think not. Does anyone disagree? Cheers, Ben.
