And you can look at the Return-Path: header to tell what address you
are subscribed from. For example, the Return-Path: for me for the
message I'm responding to is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
And the address I'm subscribed from is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (so looks
like they change the "@" to an "=" in the address). It looks like the
number there (30023) might be some kind of message number for posts to
the lists, because it varies for each message I get from the list (and
it's consecutive for all the recent posts I'm going through now).
Once you know what address you are subscribed from, you can use that
to unsubscribe. I don't know the exact format for specifying that is.
Oh, here's something I pulled out of the intro message I got when I
subscribed to the list (it's a good idea to save such things):
You can start a subscription for an alternate address, for example
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", just add a hyphen and your address (with '='
instead of '@') after the command word:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To stop subscription for this address, mail:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In both cases, I'll send a confirmation message to that
address. When you receive it, simply reply to it to complete your
subscription.
If despite following these instructions, you do not get the desired
results, please contact my owner at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Please be patient, my owner is
a lot slower than I am ;-)
So that shows how to unsubscribe for a specific address different than
the one you receive mail at.
