As to your first report that mailmaint didn't know who you were: I
have no idea what the problem was, and I can't reproduce it. If you
ever have that happen again, *in the same xterm* try "whoami" and see
if that can find your username. I expect that your session was messed
up somehow and this wasn't really a mailmaint problem.
Your second report was that ^C doesn't interrupt a listing within
mailmaint as the instructions indicate. It turns out that typing ^C,
then ENTER will interrupt the listing. We either need to get the
program to interrupt without the carriage return or change the
instructions.
Your third report about mailmaint claiming that you are a member of a
list that your aren't is also really a problem with the messages
printed by the program. When you select "Display lists of which you
are a member", it displays all of the lists you belong to, whether
directly as a member of those lists or indirectly as a member of
another list which is itself a member of that list, etc. In the case
you reported, you are a member of "boxing" which is a member of
"nato". This makes you also a member of "nato", although you are not
a direct member of that list and cannot be removed from it without
removing yourself from "boxing."
I'll see about clarifying the messages from mailmaint. Thanx for your
comments.
