No! You be right!

Unsubscribing temporarily

The Vanagon mailing list allows you to turn off the flow of messages
temporarily. This is useful, for example, when going on vacation. To
turn off messages temporarily, send the following message:

     To:
        listserv@gerry.vanagon.com
     Subject:
                (leave this blank)
     Body:
        set vanagon nomail

Send the message. You should get a confirmation from the Vanagon
mailing list within a few hours.
