I just finished writing a CGI program that will allow DML members
to suspend their subscription to the DML. It seemed to me that
this might be a useful utility, what with the volume of posts
on the list. I frequently see posts from people who are about to
unsubscribe while on spring break, or going on vacation, or whatever.
This is basically a program where you input the time you
want to be unsubscribed and resubscribed; then it does the
rest. You receive e-mail messages when you create your "entry",
whenever it is changed, when it is deleted, and before it
subscribes or unsubscribes you. When you create your entry,
you input a password that can be used by you to change or delete
the entry later.
I've spent a few days testing it, and so far, it has
performed as it should. (But if you have any problems
with it, please let me know...)
