Cine-Asia, one more time

[drainer@mpinet.net]

Alternatively, you could always check groups.yahoo.com and unsubscribe it in

It is weird how everyone got subscribed though, given that you more or less 
need a yahoo account to access it. If you follow Prof. Murphy's instructions 
you should be allright though. No virus involved.
