unless, of course, someone happens to be writing a message with the word "unsubscribe" in it, and DOESN'T want to unsubscribe to the list

let you think this is picking a nit.... I run a list for parents of one of my kid's schools, the school department runs another (badly) -- it's very common for people to write to our list asking how to (un)subscribe to the official school list

for that matter, on any list discussing mail handling, or perhaps server-side software in general, I expect the word "unsubscribe" is quite common

I've seen a number of lists where it was hard to put the word unsubscribe in a message without it rejecting it..

Someone sent a message to the group of 'unsuscribe' (note the spelling).

I replied back 'to unsubscribe, send a message to <unsubscr...@mailinglist.example.com>. List software denied my post - telling me if I wish to unsubscribe, here's how to do it (oh... the irony). So I tried again, this time saying 'if you wish to unsuscribe , send a message to ..... List AGAIN saw the unsubscribe address in my body of the message, and rejected it.

Can't remember how I got around it - I think I told the person to try spelling it correctly. :)
