I apoligize sincerely for not unsubscribing from this list before leaving... I honestly thought I had unsubscribed from all of my lists before setting up the auto-reply, I just forgot this one. I don't use Outlook, it was from a web client, and I didn't realize it would send to the same sender repeatedly. Won't happen again... I hate those messages as much as the next guy. ---- Original Message ---- From: [email protected] To: [email protected], Subject: RE: Roku-tech Digest, Vol 10, Issue 15 Date: >Send Roku-tech mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > >To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.rokulabs.com/mailman/listinfo/roku-tech >or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > >You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > >When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >than "Re: Contents of Roku-tech digest..." > > >Today's Topics: > > 1.
