I have recently tried to unsubscribe from promail listserv. I placed
unsubscribe in the subject and body. I tried unsubscribe with my email
address attached. Would the list administrator please unsubscribe me? T.I.A.

Since it's the second time in a few days, here was my earlier answer:

You have to be careful to have your "From:" header be the address under
which you subscribed. In some sendmail configs, you can sometimes see
what address was used to reach you in the "Received:" header (in case
you can't remember the exact adress you used). Also I noticed that "/"
in the address is sometimes not appreciated (not matched to itself)
so to unsubscribe from a mailing-list where I was subscribed as

        monnier+list/name(_at_)lia(_dot_)di(_dot_)epfl(_dot_)ch

I've had to use a "From:" line containing:

        monnier+list(_dot_)name(_at_)lia(_dot_)di(_dot_)epfl(_dot_)ch

and it worked.
