Maybe :) The php-general list has

That will *always* happen. Just human nature and the numbers of subscribers. However, a one-liner that either points to the webpage for unsubscribing (probably easiest) or a brief description on how to unsubscribe (To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body "unsub pgsql-performance" (without quotes)) may intercept a few more. Is there a way to configure Majordomo to make even easier to unsubscribe? Just sending to pgsql- [EMAIL PROTECTED] or some such? I've seen other mailing lists that do this. Requiring a specific command (what's the command? in the subject or the body?) is one more place a person can make a mistake. (I've recently switched mail accounts and unsubbed/ subbed from the lists I'm on. This latter style does make it a lot easier.)

(And are there mail readers out there that can pick those subscribe/ unsubscribe headers from the list emails? Now *that'd* be sweet.)
