Last time I checked, it didn't work. You have to include your
list password, which means you need to keep track of it in a safe
place, and then fumble around to get it. I really wish that the
mailing list would just allow unsubscriptions like it used to
before. I like to sub/unsub a lot from different lists, but I
get bouncebacks wanting my password, and I personally feel it is
overkill.
There are many many more "unsubscribe me please" messages
being sent to the mailman lists now that passwords need to be
supplied to unsubscribe. It is quite inconvenient I find, and
I'm hoping that it can be changed so that you only need your
password via the web interface, but not the standard email
interface.
Even if the list software sent out a 'confirm your unsubscription
by replying' message, that would be great as you just hit "reply,
send" and be done with it.
Matt, is it possible to set up the lists so that the password
doesn't need to be supplied when unsubscribing via
*[EMAIL PROTECTED] method? It'd be a real benefit to the list
users I believe, as well as an addition to the list sigfile
indicating the email unsubscribe feature - as it was before with
Smartlist.
Just some thoughts on the matter...
Take care!
