It would be interesting to know if the "list-unsubscribe" header in the messages received by the digest subscribers is correct. If so, this information is certainly known as the header is being constructed, so why not the trailer? I'm adding it to my "checklist" of things to consider when trying to help somebody. I knew about this alternative, but there's no good way I can see for us as list members to know which version of the list they're subscribed to (AFAIK, we can't see their headers), and it's easy to forget about that. I'll play around a bit more with this. Thanks!

You question got me curious ( a very dangerous condition). I normally follow this list through gmane gut got curious so I subscribed to the digest.

The digest headers include "list-unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]>

The message body has, after a listing of the posts in the digest has the following:

   Administrivia:

   To subscribe to the digest, e-mail:
       [email protected]

   To unsubscribe from the digest, e-mail:
       [email protected]

   To post to the list, e-mail:
       [email protected]

Following this is the digest of all the emails. Thunderbird displays them inline without any unsubscribe information at the end of each post.

Thanks for following up on that, Larry! I was curious too! :-) It seems as if somebody who is subscribed to the digest is constantly reminded of that, and how to unsubscribe, so ezmlm already provides what should be sufficient differentiation for the recipient. So there's no point in trying to change the trailer, but it's probably still worth reminding somebody who is trying to unsubscribe that they need a different unsubscribe address for the digest.
