Hi folks,

Just an fyi as this is happening a great deal due to the holidays and
folks being away from their email.... if your mailbox becomes too full
to handle your incoming messages and your ISP is bouncing them back to
the sender (speaking of PaddleWise as the sender), then when you clear
your mailbox and begin receiving messages again, you will likely find
that you are no longer subscribed to PaddleWise.  For each PaddleWise
message that is processed, I get a return error message from the server
that handles the full mailboxes.  After I receive about three of those
from an email account, I unsubscribe the subscriber as *my* mailbox gets 
filled with those error messages.  And I can't let the receiver know they
have been unsubscribed because... their mailbox is full 8-}

Cheers,

Jackie

Likewise, if your ISP is experiencing problems with its mail server and is
bouncing incoming mail, you may find yourself removed from Paddlewise. Has
happened to me several times. Unfortunately, Jackie has no way of knowing
why the mail is bouncing, so your Paddlewise mail stops while mail from
other sources may trickle through leaving you wondering what's going on.
*sigh*  I've come to expect email service to be as reliable as telephone,
but it just isn't so!

Karen
