Note that *most* mutt list subscribers do use mutt and understand what a header is and understand that instructional posts you receive when subscribing to a list need to be retained or at least their content retained for instances such as you describe. What makes you think that *you* or anyone else would pay more attention to a trailer than the instructions when subscribing or those contained in the header? I know for a fact that the trailer is *not* a dependable solution and can site *many* instances of people attempting to unsub by posting to the list with the instructions for properly unsubscribing contained in *their* post. If you are still unable to unsubscribe, send me your password, credit card number and pin and I will be glad to take care of that small duty for you. ps. I also have some off-shore beach property for sale. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
