ATTN ADMINS: Web Page needs unsubscribe instructions!

2003-01-07 13:33:45

Just because I'm a 'benefit of the doubt' kind of guy, I tried the more
obvious web link at the bottom of each message, and discovered that the
page it links to does not include UNsubscribe instructions.

Personally, I would have just sent a mail to 'procmail-owner' or 'mailman'
but we can't assume everyone is that intelligent. And for the record, I've
never before seen list usage instructions buried in hidden headers.
We can't berate people for failing to look for the unexpected. ;-)

My $0.02 (CDN - value will be lower in most other countries).

Subject: TO UNSUBSCRIBE READ THIS! (Was: please remove my address)

   Three idiots in two days. This has GOT to be a record.

   For anyone else who wants to unsubscribe and is too lazy to actually
figure this out on your own, you can use the information in the
List-Unsubscribe: header field in EVERY FRIGGIN' MESSAGE to unsubscribe
yourself. Since I realize it's such a chore to look at complete headers, I am
including it here:

List-Unsubscribe: <http://MailMan.RWTH-Aachen.DE/mailman/listinfo/procmail>,
      
<mailto:procmail-request(_at_)lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE?subject=unsubscribe>

   Now stop bothering the rest of the subscribership with your unsubscribe
requests. We cannot help you, since we don't run the list. Stop embarassing
yourselves and wasting our time.

         Charlie
