I blame the users, and I don't feel bad about it at all. This is the same list software used by the majority of lists AND ** they had to go to that page to subscribe themselves! *** Seriously, "unsubscribe me" posts are ridiculous. But changing the footer to "To change your settings or unsubscribe..." will at least make the ire even more justified [it won't actually help, they still won't read it]. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
