Re: [mlmmj] mlmmj: list subscriber email in both nomailsubs.d and subscribers.d

They will be sent mail, because sending mail enumerates the
`subscribers.d` files. They will be treated as subscribers for things
such as `subonlypost` because subscribers, digesters and nomailsubs are
all checked for that. Unsubscribing should unsubscribe them from both.
(It is legitimately possible for people to be subscribed to both normal
and digest versions; this is in fact a simpler case, though one without
a use case, so it's harder to achieve it, but it won't do any harm.)

That does seem strange. Usually these kinds of errors are
spelling-related. There could be something else tricky going on. Check
obscure things like extra trailing whitespace in the subscribers file,
including a wrong line ending (e.g. a DOS line ending not a Unix one,
which would expect the address to end with CR/'\r').

Good luck! Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
