I won't worry about that, as long as it ist *not* obligatory! One of the big advantages of the "mail way" of managing mailing list (un-)subscriptions is *not* to have one more account anywhere around.

See my mail to Marco: http://go.mail-archive.com/RjF-au8F7oa5W9Jc7Z9f2S2YwhA= In short saying: send autgenerated mail to nonsubscriber pointing to the archived thread of his question. >> Then if the mandate is to allow unsubscribed posts, *please* >> identify the post as such with a [Moderated] tag in the subject.
