I don't use a sig per se, but it's interesting if you're not seeing

about on this one?
He said Gmane, not gmail, to see the list as a newsgroup instead of a
mailing list.
Messages read through Gmane do not have the unsubscribe trailer since
Gmane uses a different process to allow users post messages. To stop
receiving messages you just delete gmane.comp.openoffice.questions
from your newgroup reader. There is no unsubscribing process.
OK, so Gmane strips incoming unsubscribe trailers (always? only if
there's no true sig?) prior to posting to the newsgroup, where it is
not relevant.
The unsubscribe notice is never delivered by Gmane.
But I'm also interested in why posts coming to the list from some
accounts (I've noted users at gmail.com, as in H.S.'s case, and
aol.com) would somehow --at least sometimes -- keep our list server
from appending the trailer before posting to the list.
H.S isn't posting from gmail. He is posting through Gmane. You can check
by looking for these headers.

His email address, as is mine, is at gmail. But the messages he and I
send to and receive from the list do not go through gmail. The email
address listed is irrelevant as far as our sending and receiving
messages from this list.
After all, the typical user is subscribed and following the list as
email, not as a newsgroup, regardless of the origin of the message.
Such a user may need the unsubscribe info.
These Headers are always included. Any intelligent person can always
look in the headers to find this information.
