  Perhaps there's a better solution than unsubscribing and re-subscribing
between co-op terms.  For example, what about setting up accounts on contact
that will automatically forward mail to Waterloo.  My own system has a
little over a hundred virtual usernames that do such a thing.  For example,
if you were to send mail to john@graham, it'll hit some guy on FidoNet,
without any manual intervention.  The account on contact could then be
modified again when the student returns from school.
 
  This might be a simple matter of whether the list-administrator or
contact's system administrator makes a change but, for the system
administrator to make the change, means that regular mail can be sent to
the same address all the time thereby reducing interuption of mail service.
