Folks:
In the past several years, I have both subscribed and unsubscribed to 
"cygwin AT cygwin DOT com" mailing list without any problems.  For this last 
cycle, the incoming mail from cygwin users after an unsubscribed action 
has been greatly reduced.  However today, I have received 27 mail 
messages from cygwin AT cygwin.  Why/how is this happening?

If anyone knows what I should do next please email me.  I've been 
unsubscribed since this past April.
