["Agnes Jenkins/Kathleen House" <fxhollow@madnet.net>]

I have been trying for almost a week to get my name removed from the list. 
The amount of trouble is starting to upset me.  I don't want to receive the
digest any longer.  I was just going to take a break, but now I have no
desire to see any more of this!
