Yes, I do get that email, and I usually just
cut/paste the provided URL into my web browser and
submit the form instead of replying to the email.

What I'm really after is avoiding a manual
authentication step altogether by configuring slrn
somehow.  I'm getting the feeling that this isn't

(...) You should be able to authenticate by replying to an authentication e-mail that LUGNET sends you, obviating any need for a Web browser. I have no idea what to do (or even how to post) if LUGNET isn't sending that e-mail. HTH, (23 years ago, 17-Jul-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
