# Introduction

REM is a command introduced with MSNP2.

It is a Notification Server command, without a request or response payload.

It removes a user from a list.

# Client/Request

REM TrID [ FL | AL | BL | PL ] [ user-handle | contact-guid ] {group}

The Pending List (PL) is only avaliable since MSNP10.

Where user-handle is the user's handle to remove from the list.

If using MSNP10, if the list to remove from is the Forward List (FL), user-handle is replaced with contact-guid, which is the contact's GUID.

If group is specified and the list is set to the Forward List (FL), then the user is only removed from the specified group. To remove a user from a list entirely, omit the group parameter.

# Server/Response

REM TrID [ FL | AL | BL | RL | PL ] {list-version} {group}

If this is an asynchronous use of this command, the Transaction ID (or TrID) will be set to 0.

Where list-version is the new List Version. Removed since MSNP10.
