I believe this is with regards to the recent discussion about the
unsubscribe information overhead on the bottom of each message posted
on the list. (I really like the "subscribe" information, as the header
will be received only by people who are subscribed already. <g>)
May I present my opinion (which differs from Steve's, so I will switch
off my computer and go hiding under my bed right after sending this
message):
If you just switch the info from the bottom (clear text, which should
be understood even by computer-illiterates) into the headers (not
necessarily viewed by most of those who will stay with TBUDL only for
a brief while and then unsubscribe again), you will have more messages
with "unsubscribe" in subject or header on the list.
If The Bat! supported the feature that Alex has shown us from another
mailer (the P-word), then it would make sense. I would also expect
anybody who is on this list to be using TB!, even if only evaluating
(Alex, you're excused as you have explained your reasons several times
;-)), so if the feature is supported, then even every newbie could use
the header info.
Until that time, the current way is the better choice IMHO, unless you
consider the overhead(ache) of unsub attempts on the list as the price
to pay for saving so many KB on each message.
