unsubscribe

[Michael Shapiro]

This would be a nice feature, I agree. At present the software
is orthogonal - one part watches the list, another part watches
the requests. The MAJOR problem with attempting to combine them is the
logic the request software uses. If it sees SUB, HEL, UNS, DIR, GET
or any of the commands anywhere in the message it reponds and ignores
all the rest of the message. It would be a very complicated logic
that could tell that the following message wasn't a HELP command:

    I am having trouble getting r.stats to ....  Can anybody
    help me?

If someone contributes software that has this intelligence, we'll
use it.
