Thanks. I was missing this piece of information. The confirmation message I received after subscribing to gentoo-user+subscribe-nomail had the following text: #+begin_quote If you ever wish to unsubscribe, send a message to <gentoo-user+unsubscr...@lists.gentoo.org> using this email address. The subject and the body of the message can be anything. You will then receive confirmation or further instructions. #+end_quote Since only one unsubscribe address - presumably for the regular subscription - was indicated, I assumed there was only one account per email (ala mailman) with options set on the account. So I assumed if I unsubscribed at this address I would remove myself from the list and the ability to post to it. > Just subscribing to the nomail version of the list does not impact your > other subscriptions at all. > > Did some part of the documentation make you think it would impact the > subscription? > > Regardless, how do you feel the documentation could improve to make it > clear that they are separate. Perhaps the unsubscribe instructions on joining the digest and nomail lists should indicate addresses like <gentoo-user+unsubscribe-nom...@lists.gentoo.org> If that is how it is to be done. (I haven't tried sending mail to gentoo-user+help-nomail@. I believe I'm off the regular list now, Thanks!) ---Madhu
