I like this feature, but on the lists that I run there are several users
who sub every morning, and unsub every night, this is really not a problem,
except on one list, that list sends the FAQ everytime you sub, I was wondering
if anyone has ever implemented a "resubscribe" that doesn't send info and
intro, while being able to retain the info and intro to new subscribes?
