I will be out of the office until February 18, 1997.

    I've been getting those messages, too, every time I send something to 
the list itself. Here's my theory:

    Thomas Schauer is subscribed to the list. Now Mr. Schauer decides 
that he has to leave the office for a while. Being a government worker (I'm 
guessing this from the e-mail addy), the e-mails he gets are probably 
somewhat important, important enough that he feels people should know if 
he's out of the office. So, Mr. Schauer automates his e-mail application 
to automatically send "I will be out of..." messages to everyone who 
sends him mail. 

    The posts he gets from the list triggers his e-mail program to send 
his automated message to the poster, since that's the address in the 
"From:" field. So, everytime someone posts to the list, he/she gets that 
annoying message (I'm expecting one after I send this). 

    Since Feb. 18 is already over, we can assume that Schauer forgot to 
turn off his program, and probably won't anytime soon. So, the only 
alternative is to forcibly unsubscribe him to remove this nuisance. I 
would suggest doing so, but what do I know?
