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
Would I be correct in assuming that most or all of those messages have
more words in the subject than just the single word "unsubscribe"? Or
at least some message content?
If the message body is empty and the subject only contains the word
"unsubscribe," it's probably a safe bet to assume it's an attempt to
remove someone from the list and not a question or comment.
