There is one other desperate measure you can take, if you have outlook or outlook express. From your inbox, highlight a message from bookshare. hit alt for the menus, right-arrow over to message, then up arrow to "block Sender" Hit enter ant ehrere you are. If you ever again want to join your happy list, you can delete the entry in the block senders list. Not ideal, but a work-around. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Wojtecki" <wojtecki@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 3:32 AM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: An alternative to Unsubscribing > I have been trying to unsubscribe from this list but have been unsuccessful. > I have written to Peter privately asking for help and wonder if this message > was somewhat in response to my request.
