Hi there. Glad you've signed up to our newsletter.

this should only be a confirmation email. When you receive the regular 
newsletters there won't be any number signs in sight.

Basically, it's a code thing. It is quite common to have an email formulated 
in that way when being sent to a majordomo listserver.

Basically the clever robot that receives it this end knows to ignore all the 
lines with a number sign at the beginning. That's for humans. The lines 
without a numbersign are for the machine and gives the computer useful info 
about what you want, etc.

Cheers

...Damon
