I don't know why, but now I am getting double xmca messages to my secondary
email address. I recently joined XMCA. This leaves no doubt that I am
subscribed but previously (during the past three weeks) none of the messages
I sent to xmca were ever posted. Can you take a look at this situation? I
don't know yet whether my messages will be posted to the list?
