Instead of adding subscibe/unsubscribe info to the signature,
why not add these lines as headers? For example:
List-Subscribe: <mailto:bbedit-talk-on(_at_)barebones(_dot_)com>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:bbedit-talk-off(_at_)barebones(_dot_)com>
Great Idea- I get the point about wasting bandwidth - sorry about
that. I still have to figure out how to unsubscribe ... I guess I
will have to do a search and find out ... gawd .. can't move my
fingers any more ... hehehe :)
Some sort of instructions were posted with the FAQ pointer recently.
You should have received that.
There are also instructions at <http://www.procmail.org/era/lists.html>
and a pointer to this page from the main procmail.org page.
(Actually the instructions are not completely correct. It doesn't
appear to be possible to post to procmail-users at this point. The old
address at RWTH Aachen is still the one to use as far as I can tell.)
Finally, you can scan the mailing list itself for useful phrases in
earlier postings at the searchable archive of list postings; this is
at <http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/>

I think emails sent to this mailing list should have an appended
signature file that displays or instructs you on how you can
unsubscribe - because I want to unsubscribe but dont know how
to.
It would have been even more convenient for you to have saved the
welcome message you got when you subscribed. That had all the
information you need, and you would not have had to bother the
list with an inane request.
Actually the welcome message doesn't really contain any useful
instructions. I wish this could be changed (and perhaps headers could
be added to the list's normal headers with unsub instructions as well)
but that is not currently possible, because the list is still owned by
Stephen, who is swamped with Real Work. (It could change. Soon, we
hope ...)
I get welcome messages from 15,000 sites and mailing lists - I
cannot afford to save all of them due to shortage of disk space
