This doesn't really belong here, but my attempts to use the specified
addresses didn't work.  Could someone suggest where I went wrong?

In a nutshell, I wanted to change my list subscription to digest form.
Following the 'reminder' instructions (see "- Unprocessed" below) gave
the results described under "- Ignored".  Finally, sending an email to
<mailman-owner at octave.org> produced the entire bounced message below,
apparently by an auto reply script.  The last line says "- Done", but
nothing has changed.

What should I do?

- Ignored:

    I just went to the site immediately above to set digest-style delivery.
    But the password shown above didn't work.  After entering it on the first
    page I got an identical-looking second page that asked, above the password,
    for my email address.  Entering the password there again did nothing.

    To make sure the password was still correct, I asked for a Reminder to be
    sent to me.  It was, with the same password as above.  What gives?

    In any case, I would like to modify my list subscription to digest-style.

    Thanks.

    PS, I originally sent this to <mailman-owner at octave.org> as directed above,
    and the message got bounced back as undeliverable.  Looks like this 're-
    minder' message should be updated.


- Done.
