What *I'd* do is send all a bcc telling them that the list they subscribed
to has been reactivated, and IF they're still interested, THIS IS HOW to
subscribe to it. And if they're NOT interested, they don't have to do
anything, as you will be tossing their address, and sorry for the
intrusion.
I agree. If you were simply taking over an active list I'd say to
subscribe everyone (which is what I did when I moved my list from one isp
to another). But you said that many people have been trying to unsubscribe
unsuccessfully for a long time. Trust me, you're much better off dealing
with the few people who will need handholding to join the new list than
with the screaming fits from the people who have been trying to get off the
list for ages and now have a new address to contend with.
