We've been seeing a LOT of these incorrectly formed unsubscribe requests
lately.  I'd like to hear some suggestions as to how the unsubscribe
instructions could be stated more clearly!  E.g.: Red Hat's mailing
lists show an actual command line to use to send the request, but that
only works if your e-mail system is Unix/Linux based and you have command
line access.  They end with:

  --
  To unsubscribe:
  mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

For non-techie types, I don't think that's necessarily clearer.  Ideas?
