Why even have to send an email to [email protected] begin with? That's IMO just plain silly. If there are multiple uninstall email addresses then provide a link to a *proper* mail list page that explains in *detail* how to unsubscribe (list, digest, whatever). The better method would be do do as the dev list does and use mailman: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice where the user can set their own preferences, unsubscribe, etc. This continuing of having to subscribe w/nomail for gmane.org access, issues with unsubscribing, etc., is a reminder of email lists gone bad w/OOo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail to [email protected] List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/users/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
