>I can temporarily stop receiving postings to Mahan, only how to unsubscribe

>don¹t particularly want to have to leave completely, howeverŠ
>Šone of the messages I did receive was from somewhere that I¹d never heard

>quite the most welcoming thing to get the first time you join a discussion
>group, and is certainly helping to make me feel that maybe the best thing
>would be if I left Mahan entirely.
>It would seem to be a good idea if new subscribers got sent some details of
>how Mahan works, which would not only make them feel welcome but would also
>prevent problems like this occurring.
>Anyway, to reiterate my original request, is there any way of temporarily
>stopping Mahan mail, or will I just have to say ŒGoodbye¹ to you all and
>un-subscribe, before I¹ve done much more than poke my nose round the front
>door?
