Rose,
I just wanted to say how happy we all are you've joined us volunteers. A
warm welcome to you. To answer your question, you can be helpful in any way
you feel you want to contribute. Validators are always needed as there are
many books on the validation list awaiting a volunteer.
Also, I wanted to give you some "words of experience" on the e-mail list
thing. I got the same message as you about there being no command and after
some tedious playing with it a bit, I finally figured out the trick. When
you get your confirmation e-mail, you need to reply to it. It tells you to
put a certain command in the e-mail. To make it simple, when you reply to
the e-mail, make sure you include the contents of the confirmation e-mail in
your reply. So if you ahve an option in whatever e-mail program and allows
you to include the sender's message in your reply, make sure it's turned on.
I realize I did an extremely poor job of explaining that. If it makes
sense, I hope it works for you. If it doesn't, and you still get the error
message, write me and I'll better explain myself. (Smile)
Lisa
