Claudia,
When signing up for a Dargon e-mail list, you are asked to reply to a
confirmation e-mail to confirm that you are, indeed, the person that
wants to subscribe. This prevents others from subscribing people willy-
nilly.
My guess is that you replied to confirm, but I think your e-mail
client defaults to HTML mail and the mailing list program was saying
it couldn't understand the HTML part of your message. The mailing list
program usually tries to make sense of any e-mails sent to it, because
it's expecting instructions. As you can see in the message you posted,
it was ignoring part of your message.
I checked the mailing list subscribers and you successfully
subscribed, so you should be all set. Thanks!
