I have the same email address for all lists, OOo or not… It's GIMP, EasyTag, Sane, Ubuntu, even GPRename… > > Only difference is I clean up a bit, so I'm only at 1% of these incredible > 7256 MB with 3760 messages kept. I archive my messages, no matter if I read them or not, which makes them disappear from my inbox. That makes it LOOK clean, and I can still search for everything. I also attach labels to them so I can easily see messages for one particular list and I also have a few other kinds of labels involved. If I answer a question or ask one myself, I mark it with a star, which makes me able to see them when someone else replies and I can also use the Mark All Messages Except Those With A Star feature, so I can easily archive all non star messages in a jiffy… > > Another remark: it does seem that subscribing to this list is so much > easier > than unsubscribing.

It seems that most of those who say they want to be unsubscribed thinks that someone is going to do that for them in some way. And they also seems to consider the email they get as spam. Maybe that's the reason they never confirm their unsubscribtion… When you get angry, everything get's so much harder, or maybe you just get so much blinder… J.R.
