address I'm subscribed under?

While M=1 might be valid, it might be one more than some people want, and
M=0 means no restriction. Some other way of turning it off?

How about only showing it in cases where a direct hit is scored? I'm
subscribed as 'brozen@pop.torah.org' and I sent through a which on that
