You have to be patient any time you send email to listmaster. In my
experience they don't read the email more than once or twice a
week. And don't expect to hear back from them either. They may
acknowledge your email, then again they may just take action and not
send you anything.
That's the breaks when you use a list managed by busy volunteers.
