Apparently badly written MUA's will strip off the link at the bottom of every message, hence the clueless will never see that message. However, if they examine the headers of each email they will see the list-management information: List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe> List-Id: Discussion Group for Red Hat Linux 7.1 <seawolf-list.redhat.com> List-Unsubscribe: <https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe> Or, they could go back to the place they subscribed and follow the instructions there.
