Some list servers use the From address in the _envelope_ to determine
the sender's identity. If that doesn't match the address your are
trying to unsubscribe, the list server will reject the request. I know
at least one of the list servers I subscribe to works that way, but I
don't remember if the mutt-users list server does.
To get around this, you can
set use_from
and set your 'From:' address to your old subscriber address when you
send your unsubscribe request.
