I see from your headers that you were using Microsoft Outlook Express.  Maybe
you sent the unsubscribe request with HTML attachment?  Outlook Express does
sneaky things like that, plus quoted-printable, without letting the user know.
You have to be sure to send the unsubscribe request as one-part plain-text
because Majordomo and other listservs don't recognize MIME embellishments.
I think Majordomo may have interpreted the subheaders of the first part of the
message as commands, which were unrecognizable.  The following is quoted from
your message to the list, verbatim:
