I will point out that from the recipients point of view, a mailman

One way around this is rather than us the mailman invite feature, write
a personal email where you "invite" the person to subscribe, giving the
url of the subscription page as a pointer.>>
Even tho I'm with a cPanel instal by serious "dumb" luck I having been
doing exactly that for over a decade since I started my 1st List which
was actually "begged" for ;-) by a bunch of folks on another Public List
which did/does not allow attachments. I have no clue as to why I didn't
just Mass Subscribe. I sent out Personal Invites with the Subscribe
URL. Something about the Mass Sub. just didn't "feel" right.

I have just about reached the "breaking point" and maybe one (1) more
and I'm gonna ban AOL (Yahoo not far behind these days) users.

Absolutely agreed, Richard ! ! Thank you for posting something in this
thread that applies to MM Users such as myself who ARE stuck behind
cPanel :-[ :-) ! !
