Andrea, It's spelled UNSUBSCRIBE, not Unscribe. And if you seek to annoy someone with that ridiculous email, bear in mind that you're annoying people who know vastly more about annoying people with a computer than you do. If you succeed, it could end badly for you. Meantime, follow the direct

Re: Oracle Bad news JDK 6 will no longer be free which screws AOO usage

Scooter, Keep in mind that unless you are using Base or the Accessibility features, you don't need Java to run OpenOffice (AOO) or LibreOffice (LO). I am not sure what TB needs Java for. I know some websites use it, since there are TB configuration options to disable certain Java features fo
