It might help, actually, if instead of requiring the hopeful escapee to send off an email in order to learn how to send off a second emall, the footer merely tell the fellow what email he must send in order to leave. That is what is done in most lists, it isn't clear why it can't be done. here as well. We don't need to punish people for wanting to unsubscribe. It might be even better to say "click here to unsubscribe". Although the address is currently given as a link, the link is very easy to overlook, especially that (as has been pointed out) many users of this list are not technical people, and this may be their first experience with lists and leaving them. Inviting people to email the help system if they have a problem is very nice, but it's a separate issue, and bundling the unsubscribe method into it only complicates matters for unsubscribing, which is always the chief reason for involving the administrative function in the first place. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
