Personally I think it's cool. 99% of the unsubscribe problems [on the lists I run at least] are 1) Not knowing where to send the request and 2) not knowing how to spell unsubscribe. While the syntax of the trailer is sort of catered to those that at least have a couple braincells and probably don't need it, it still gives the two important parts: unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's all you really need to say. - Jeff ***************************************************************************** | Jeff Schreiber | There is freedom and there is responsibility. | | aka - "Spectre" | You have obviously figured out the first | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | but not the latter. | | | (Rob Schmunk - [EMAIL PROTECTED]) | ***************************************************************************** -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
