I got messages from three lists, National, Heathkit and MRCG. All said I had too many bounces and would be unsubscribed if I did not return the message. I did and got another message saying that the command string was invalid. I then got a third message from each list saying I had been unsubscribed. I tried resending one of the reactivation messages and got the same message back that the command was invalid. I did this using both an e-mail reply and the web site. Same message in response. I don't know what to do. Shall I just leave it alone and it will be fixed or should I re-subscribe to each. If there were actual bounces I have no idea why. I will try resubscribing to the National list and see what happens.
