I showed this list's footer to a Brit friend. He immediately pointed out
that it was thoroughly ambiguous even for a native English speaker, and
you just pointed out two of the many possible erroneous interpretations.
Sounds like a good reason to change it, no?

That's the problem -- the "unsub digest" part is currently _not_ a link.
As I pointed out in my previous mail, putting the following in the footer:
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe%20digest
should work correctly for the majority of MUAs that grok links in message
text. That leaves a (hopefully) minority of folks who'll type:
cmd:unsubscribe%20digest
into their Subject: lines. <shrug>
