% Were  you trying  to change  your subscription  from davidtg@bigfoot.com  to
% davidtg-empeg@justpickone.org via the mail interface?

No; I did it thru the web interface.

% If so,  do you  mind sending me  a copy of  the mails  you sent to  the list
% manager (I run  a devel version of  the upcoming mailman, and I  try to help

Sorry; any sort of subscribe and confirm messages I just toss in the bit
bucket.  In addition, once the subscriptions were confirmed, I tossed the
list server messages as well.  Sorry!

% out with small bugs. This one seems to be minor, but we should probably look
% into it anyway)

Sorry :-)  It should be easy to duplicate, though; subscribe to two lists
(like empeg-faq and empeg-announce), open two web browsers, go to the two
list control pages and log in on each, and then send a change from one
and a change from the other.  Remember to hit "global" at some point
along the way.  When replying to the confirmation messages, reply to the
first before doing the global change but the second, which might
confusingly arrive after said global change, later after the web is done.
