[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Problems getting ActiveSync service?

[Rick Carlson]

I have attempted to unsubscribe from this list repeatedly, but continue to
receive email, which given my attempt not to be included on the list, I now
consider spam. 

I signed up, because I was interested in learning when/if The Missing Sync
would be out for the Verizon 6700, but did not realize I would be involved
in a minute-by-minute tech thread.

No disrespect, but PLEASE REMOVE ME from this list.  As I said, before
writing this email, I tried on multiple occasions to use the traditional
unsubscribe method.

Thanks, and good luck developing.
