List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:hates-software-unsub@xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx>; Which reminds me. I hate MUAs. What's the single largest administrative complaint about mailing lists? "How do I get off this list?" The information is right there in the header, so why doesn't ANY MUA IN THE UNIVERSE DO SOMETHING WITH IT?! Its not like it isn't spelled out in RFC 2369 or anything.

Pasted from the footer Pinee put on this very message: [ Note: This message contains _email list management information_ ] That last bit is a link. Follow it and you get this screen: Mail List Commands Message 1 has information associated with it that explains how to participate in an email list. An email list is represented by a single email address that users sharing a common interest can send messages to (known as posting) which are then redistributed to all members of the list (sometimes after review by a moderator). List participation commands in this message include: * A method to get information about the list and instructions on how to join. Select HERE to seek help. * Methods to remove yourself from the list (Unsubscribe). 1. Select HERE to UNsubscribe. 2. Select HERE to UNsubscribe. * Methods to add yourself to the list (Subscribe). 1. Select HERE to Subscribe. 2. Select HERE to Subscribe. * A method to send a message to the entire list (Post). Select HERE to post a message. And all the "HERE"s are links that Do The Right Thing. For some reason Pine has a reputation for being a toy of a mail client, but I've never quite understood why. Isn't any client that *doesn't* support things like this broken? No need to answer that :-)
