I don't know Tom's problem, but I had the same problem as started this
thread. Clicking on the email address to send the request somehow didn't
pickup the "users+" so it didn't go through. After not getting the expected
automated response I looked at the email and noticed the missing part.
Correcting the address and resending resulted in the subscription going
through normally. Something, maybe with the clip board or with certain
mailers and how they handle the clip board or something causes it to not
always work as intended.
