I meant to send this to the List as well as to Christine.  Sorry!

Thanks, Christine!  Now we'll know what to look for!  I actually have
been checking my S P A M folder in AOL but have seen nothing there.  It
looks as if I am one of a handful of people whose subscription requests
did not take.  I know of at least one other person who subscribing using
the same name under two different accounts and did so successfully.  So
it is doable.  However, a few others who have tried to subscribe just
under one account have received no confirmation messages.  So, there are
some glitches in some cases.

Thanks again, the more details I hear about, the more I learn!

Check your junk mail box, etc. I also subscribed yesterday. The
subject
line for the confirmation message is "Your confirmation is needed." If
I
hadn't been specifically looking for it, I would probably have deleted
this as some sort of spam.

It advises you to click on a link to confirm that you really want to
subscribe.

Perhaps SAA could change the confirmation line so that it appears more
specific to the archives list and less like a spam subject line.
