I should update that.  The 11.47 was likely just copied over
from the Spitfire list, as 1147 cc is the displacement of the
Mark 1 and 2 Spit motors.  I should pick something more
appropriate for MG T series cars.  Of course some folks are
not about to support Team.Net as they believe it just appears
by magic, there certainly can't be a real person keeping the
servers running, paying for the ISP bill, paying for the network
connection, trying to keep the hardware reasonably up to date.
Nope, certainly nobody would do something like that.

Gee, noticing the suggested donation but completely
missing the link to the *mailman* list management page.
It has been quite some time since majordomo was used.

A number of modern mailers will display RFC2369 headers
as clickable links if set up properly.  These RFC2369 headers
included in all the messages sent are lines like:

List-Id: MG T series vehicle discussion <mg-t.autox.team.net>
List-Unsubscribe: <http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mg-t>,
<mailto:mg-t-request@autox.team.net?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Post: <mailto:mg-t@autox.team.net>
List-Help: <mailto:mg-t-request@autox.team.net?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/mg-t>,
<mailto:mg-t-request@autox.team.net?subject=subscribe>


Also the monthly reminder has the appropriate links to mailman
as well.  The correct information is right there, all you have to do
is pay attention.
