My previous mail was a test really. It was send with an unsubscribed
address and should have been rejected, at least in accordance with
<http://www.parigp-home.de/lists/index.en.shtml>. It is possible
that the list is misconfigured (?). The first spam was 6 month ago, iirc.
This need to be investigated.

You do not need to agree: the archiver support the 'X-Archive: No' header, see
<http://www.parigp-home.de/lists/archive.en.shtml> second technical note.

On the other hand we may be less interested to help users that do not want
their request archived, since other people with a similar problem will find the
solution in the archive only with trouble if at all.

Cheers,
Bill.
