There are 3 reasons why it is not immediately obvious to people that one of the 
links at the bottom of Histonet email helps you unsubscribe:

1. In this day and age of internet and email hypertext clutter people simply do 
not have the time nor the desire to click and explore every link they come 
across to see which one is going to lead them to the desired page. If the 
hypertext of a link does not jump out at a person with the info they want, they 
disregard it and keep looking or freak out and ask the whole list. Neither link 
at the bottom of Histonet email explicitly states the info most people are 
probably looking for - that is, to unsubscribe.

2. Most email (junk or subscription) that people receive contain a link that 
states, "To unsubscribe CLICK HERE," or words to that effect. I believe this is 
what most people are looking for who are trying to unsubscribe from Histonet.

3. Most people trying to unsubscribe are not even reading well-intentioned 
email sent from Histonetters trying to help them.  They see [Histonet] in the 
subject line and disregard it because they're trying to unsubscribe, not read 
more Histonet email.

Just trying to facilitate some understanding here of the problem.

That said, my suggestion to the list moderator would be to include a link at 
the bottom of Histonet email that explicitly states "To unsubscribe CLICK 
HERE." This should reduce some of the clutter of unwanted and unnecessary 
off-topic (i.e., "unsubscribe me please!!!") Histonet email.
