It was the only way some time ago (5+ years?) and when I left the list I didn't unsubscribe myself, but set it to NoMail. Almost like in Pegasus Mail (you said you use Pmail) list. Me too. I think all you need is send a message to EUforum- subscribe at topica.com (watch for breaking line) from your current address (I'd suggest a throw-away address) and subscribe to an account. I place my posts to EUforum at topica.com and all came out safe'n'sound, my with a slight delay. There's more information at http://www.rapideuphoria.com/listserv.htm below mid-page.
