This message, as sent to me via gmane.comp.org (I get all email via
gmane for this discussion group) contains no unsubscribe instructions
at the bottom of the mail as received.
I believe that no emails as received by me contains these
instructions, except when they are included as part of the quotation
from an earlier email. I am using Mozilla Thunderbird.
The unsubscribe message is included in the header, if I choose to show
the complete header, which I normally do not. So I would not see it.

If I look at the above message from Jim Allan using Thunderbird's
**mail** reader (to read users@openoffice.org) then the Unsubscribe
instructions *do* appear (and are quoted above). If I look at the *same*
message using Thunderbird's **news** reader (to read
gmane.comp.openoffice.questions) then they do *not* appear.
On the other hand, using the *mail* reader to read Dotan Cohen's message
requesting that the User Guide for OOo 1.1 be moved, the instructions do
*not* appear.
So it's not *only* a question of how the messages are *read*. I'm confused.
A small sample shows that using the *news* reader none of the messages
has the instructions but using the *mail* reader some do and some don't.
I'm still confused. I can only speculate that the *sending*
process/mechanism has some influence but ...
Which bit of software, running where, adds the instructions? The answer
to that may, I think, provide major clues as to what is happening here.
I have a half formed theory that stuff sent via a *news* program won't
acquire the instructions however that stuff is read whereas stuff sent
by a *mail* program will show the instructions when read as mail but not
when read as news ( leaving aside unsubscribed users who will never see
the instructions). But, as many of you know, I have been wrong before ...
