I am severly tempted to express my opinion of people who don't read
neither announcement mails nor mail headers, but complain loudly, in
similarly strong words. Instead I am quoting from the headers of every
mail you got from the mailing-list since the move:
List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It doesn't take a degree in rocket science to figure out from that that
you should send a mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to unsubscribe,
or to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, if that doesn't work for some reason.
The help document also tells you how to unsubscribe if you are
subscribed with a different address than the one you are currently
using. Basically, you do a s/return-\d+/unsubscribe/ on the Return-Path
header. For example, my mails from dbi-users have a Return-Path header
like this:
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
So I would send a mail to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I guess that would mostly generate a lot of complaints to the abuse
compartment of your company and/or your ISP.
