Rick, I see.  Look, that has been going around for a week or more.  The 
person simply doesn't know the word "unsubscribe," and so she wrote 
"unscribe," and everyone has had fun insulting her but I don't think 
anyone's just tried to help.  So you aren't noticing anything new.  It's 
just that she sent the same frustrated request again, using the same 
nonexistent word.

Mary Jo, here are the actual words.

To register on a mailing list is to *subscribe* to that list.  Not *scribe.*

So, to stop receving messages from that list, what a person does is to 
*unsubscribe."  The "un" means to reverse something.  Subscribe, then 
unsubscribe.

I hope that's helpful.

Sorry.  Was in a hurry and didn't check my careless typing that time.
Thanks.

hi,

It won't work unless you spell unscribe correctly.
 Its unsubscribe.
