	It probably actually said not to respond, and that it was a probe
message.  Subscription probes happen when an email address has been 
bouncing, to determine if it is still bouncing, or if the address should
be disabled.

	Just log back into the site and re-enable your list subscription
or re-subscribe as needed.

	As for what was going on, the list was getting mail sent to your
address returned as undeliverable.  If it sees too many bounced messages
your subscription is disabled.

	This may be an AT&T issue, I've seen a lot of bounced mail for 
att.net addresses in the past 3 weeks.

	Hope this helps,
