Hey Duncan, Thanks for taking the time to provide me with your paragraph of wisdom. What's a mail Header?

Perfect demonstration of the technical literacy both of those that post "remove" instructions to mailing lists, and of those that post using not only HTML, but some MS mangled version of same! A hint, Eric, if you are reading this. Look in the mail headers for unsubscribe instructions, or go to the same site you used to subscribe, and read them there. If you don't know how to read mail headers, and don't remember which site you used to subscribe, well... click on the "lists" link at gentoo.org, taking you to the lists page, with... surprise! instructions for subscribing and unsubscribing from the lists! Amazing how you find the unsubscribe instructions for a Gentoo list, under the lists link on the Gentoo site, isn't it? It's not as if you go to an MS Office site, or one for the Interior ministry of China, or something, to find instructions for unsubscribing from a Gentoo list. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
