Thanks Barbara:

I didn't look at the bottom of the mail before sending my suggestion.  I hope there's a good reason 
why unsubscribers are told to send a message to users+help instead of instead of users+unsubscribe. 
 But at least Phil should have got a message back that he can read.

As to your question, I don't know the answer, and we'll have to wait for the owner.  I'm just a 
moderator.
