If you're willing, you could try subscribing to users again with your

Hopefully no one will mind a couple of test messages over the next few

Ok... I subbed then unsubbed successfully to both the users and discuss
lists - both showed the sub address WITH the BATV tag (which means it
isn't ignoring the BATV tag like it should).
Next, I resubbed, and sent a test message to both - neither went right
through, so I'm assuming they are both being held due to ezmlm thinking
I'm not subbed due to BATV tagging.
I'm now sure that the reason the unsubs worked for the other 3 lists but
not for the users list is that I used the WELCOME MESSAGE to do the
unsub from (these are very low volume (especially as compared to the
users lists), and the only messages that were in my OOo folder that I
could select to then click the Unsub header link was THE WELCOME
MESSAGE) - which is the only one that has the BATV tag in it when I
click the Unsubscribe link in the header.
So, bottom line - even though the most current version of ezmlm does
apparently support BATV tags, either the list manager being used for the
OOo lists isn't a new enough version, or this feature has not been
enabled - or is not working properly.
Ah! So that's the header whose List-Unsubscribe you used, except for the
users list, and that one (but not messages from the list) uses the
indirect form that includes the actual subscribed account name. I
totally agree that the list management process should always strip all
the prefixing (BATV or other) before applying any rules about
subscriptions (subscribing, unsubscribing, or posting). So now we know
-- all the lists work the same, after all, which disposes of a major
mystery here. Unfortunately, all the message bodies just use the direct
form, and most people never look at expanded headers at all. The text of
the unsubscribe failure message talks about the Return-Path header and
has instructions for getting at it under Eudora 4.0 and PMMail, which
certainly seems less than helpful.
