Hi ... I have been following the thread of mails on this list about people not knowing how to unsubscribe from this list. This is what I have to say and my suggestion to solve this problem. A lot of people join this list because they are newbies ... and I expect a great deal of them rely on a ppp connection via whatever means (the point I am trying to make is it may be slow or expensive) ... this list is extremely high volume in my opinion ... this is actually a good sign but not everybody is expecting the sudden fllod of mails coming in to his mailbox ... although I agree with some comments made ont his list that people should keep the subscription mail and read the instructions on it to unsubscribe I also think that we can be more accomodating to newbies having absolutely no idea what they are doing ... so might I suggest that someone (I am willing to do it) sends a short mail to the list every now and then ... (I was thinking one or two days) ... the subject line of this instruction can be made clear to everyone already on this list so that they can procmail or filter it off ... this is just a suggestion .. so try to be calm when you reply with your comments ... >Sample mail< Subject: Instructions To Unsubscribe From Mandrake Mailing List Please follow the accompanying instructions to unsubscribe from the Mandrake Mailing List.
