The mail client does when it adds the footer.

However, while not intending to 'shoot the messenger', unsubscribed posts to this list *need* a [moderated] or similar subject line heading. To continue sending unsubscribed posts to the list simply wastes too much time for those who continue to contribute to this list. Many folks here spend considerable amounts of their time as well, assisting other users - subscribed and unsubscribed - and this debate/issue has simply gone on long enough. Bugs have been filed, discussions have taken place - over *and* over again - and yet the list is *still* subject to posts without a [moderated] subject tag. Further down the thread you posted: <quote> ezmlm is the list management software which I believe is open source. The list is hosted on www.collab.net so any changes would have to go through them as well (which has proved difficult in the past). </quote> ezmlm can add headers, footers, and can add modified subject tags according to their documentation (this has been discussed here before also). If collab.net is the problem, then I've not seen this as the issue in the bugs reports that I used to look up. I can look again, but wonder if it is worth the effort, as this has gone on for so long that it's doubtful that anyone will resolve it in my lifetime & I've since tired of looking them up. There *does* appear to be some effort made to ensure that list posters are subscribed. Starting from here, and reviewing the links, I can no longer find a link that allows unsubscribed users: http://www.openoffice.org/ http://support.openoffice.org/index.html Users Mail List (Subscribe / Archives) OpenOffice.org Project community support provided by a network of hundreds of experienced users. You must be subscribed to post messages. - links to mailto:[email protected] http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html - appears to only show subscribe addresses & Newsgroup/gmane requires a subscription reply as well. So were are the unsubscribed coming from? My guess might be that they are from folks that 'bought' OOo from the 3rd Party download link scammers who promise support for their 'services' and then send the unwary off to here for their 'support'. If that is the case, then perhaps the best option might be to simply dev/null the posts. If it's not the case, then OOo list administrators/moderators/collab.net et al need to put their heads together and figure out a way to place a [moderated] tag in the subject line so that subscribed users don't continue to waste their time responding. Or if they do respond, then they can easily cc the unsubscribed if they wish. Sorry, but I'll no longer assist, or reply to an unsubscribed post without a [moderated] or similar identifying tag. I've worked hard to help on this list as best I can, but OOo isn't my only list and I simply don't have the time nor inclination to parse headers any longer.
