Right - and Florian addressed this earlier today. At one point the email footer did include the unsubscribe URl for standard subscriptions - but since it didn't unsubcribe those with digest subscriptions and some complained it was dropped. However - there is a planned upgrade to the list management software and with that there will no longer be separate commands for normal / digest / no-mail options - the one unsubscribe will suffice, so at that point it, IMO, makes sense to put the actual command URl back into the mail footer. //drew -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
