Putting on my mailman hat now. :) Actually, the people who are the owners of the list _can_ do this. That's you and wescpy. But, of course, it's better to not cave in to user requests to do this. I just wanted to let people know that this is not a limitation of mailman 2.x in case they were in the market for a mailing list. However, I believe I know what is going on here. The original poster, not cc'd on this list, was receiving his or her mail as a digest. And, after you unsubscribe, mailman has to figure out what to do with the digest that was in the process of being assembled for you. So digest readers often get one, and in some odd circumstances 2 copies of the digest they no longer want to receive. However, it is easy to check if the account is still around if you are a list admininstrator ... and that is often a good idea, because people do get into trouble by unsubscribing a different account than the one where they are receiving mail, with the perfectly reasonable outcome that the mail keeps on coming.
