Almost the only thing I see is that my email address, albeit a little garbled, is included with a reference to the envelope (I don't remember the exact wording, and don't have an example in front of me, so I can't be more specific.) there is no easy filter to apply. Presumably the result of us using a different list mailer from the OOo one.
From this point of view it would be better if the unsubscribed OP's address were added to the reply-to line, but I can't see that the moderator can do this, since (s)he merely clicks on a link. Plus I, at least, have started sending a mail to the OP of messages I moderate, suggesting that they subscribe. I assume other mods do this, too. //James -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
