Re: Is this a glitch?
I am running OpenOffice 4.0.1 (English) version on an old Windows
system. The below instructions removed all gridlines.
Are you using windows / mac? Another version of OpenOffice?

Just resubscribe from your new address. When the old account is closed,
the messages will be rejected and the list should then stop sending to
that old address.

Another area I found to be a real pain on most mailing lists. To
unsubscribe you must do it from the address you originally scribed from.
That means you have to it before you change ISP's. I ran into this when
I moved 250 miles from my old ISP. Not knowing new ISP at that time, I
could not log on and change addresses and could not unsubscribe old
address. Old location was DSL, new one was 100 Mbit/s fiber optic.
be nice if you could specify old log-in address in the unsubscribe
message.

I have had it happen, but it is an unusual case not likely seen by a
normal user. It had to do with a custom server being improperly
configured and then later the incorrect user names being fixed. Based on
who owned the email domain, emails subscribed with a specific email
address (different name) continued to be received properly, but it was
no longer possible to use that name for outgoing email. Odd case.

I had thought that I'd succeeded in registering to use my IEEE Remailer
address, but in fact I now think that my requests were not considered by
the automated subscription system, and I was thus subscribed via my ISP
provided E-Mail address. I was not able to find any option.
I do suggest that the subscription instructions (I forget where they
are) should make it absolutely clear to prospective new subscribers that
the only way to subscribe for mail to be sent to an e-mail address is to
send one's subscription request directly from that address. The
Confirmation E-Mail message should emphatically state that the required
reply to the message it will be processed automatically, and that any
request for something special, particularly use of one's Remailer E-Mail
address, will be ignored without consideration.

Howdy, Tom
I am an elderly person in the category of being too old to be creating
web pages - a very nice gentleman created a template and is on the ready
if I run into major trouble such as the site crashing. This kind man
moved me from depending on Dreamweaver to editing code in a note pad
type product.
Back to OO - your explanation made sense until I saw the inability to
send from the remailer subscribed email address. When I subscribed to
the list, I didn't have options . . . clicked the link and I was added.
What does v/r mean?
What does IMHO mean?
Just saw someone is requesting a change of email address - doesn't that
require unsubscribing from the original email address then
re-subscribing with the new one? Darn, I just opened another can of worms.

FYI, I get many messages from this list that do not have the "unsubscribe" footer. Don't know what's up with that, and since I don't want to unsubscribe, I don't care.
Thought you might find the info handy for troubleshooting.

Hi Tubular,
Well, I just inspected headers and see that I had fooled myself. My
original subscription request was:
Subject: Subscribe to OpenOffice Users Mailing List
Body: Hello, Subscribe tapanfil@ieee.org
My reply to the "confirm subscribe to ooo-users@incubator.apache.org" was:
Subject: Confirm Subscription to ooo-user Mailing List
Body: Hi, I do want to subscribe to the ooo-users mailing list,
BUT I would prefer that my mail be set to my
Reply-To Address: tapanfil@ieee.org
Rather than to my From Address: tap.home@verizon.net
The resulting WELCOME message said in part:
Acknowledgment: I have added the address
tap.home@verizon.net
to the ooo-users mailing list.
Welcome to ooo-users@incubator.apache.org!
Please save this message so that you know the address you are
subscribed under, in case you later want to unsubscribe or change
your
subscription address.
So, my attempt to con the list server to use my IEEE Remailer address
failed.
It looks like people are not allowed to subscribe via their preferred
remailer addresses.
You must have actually been seeing people writing from ISP supplied
addresses other than the ISP provided addresses from which they subscribed.
You must be right -- Maybe some others have been under the same
misconception which I just aired. Maybe this will help them.
v/r,
Tom

And remember, Moderators are generally happy to help users unsubscribe
if they run into actual technical difficulties. One way they can
indicate they are running into problems would be to send a note that
says something like:
1) I tried to unsubscribe
2) Here is the command I sent
3) Here is the error message I received back

They do, if they use GMail SMTP servers which allow setting up "aliases"

Moderators often step in without spamming the whole list with this. But
(as the "help" message says: you all can get it as explained in the
footer) if someone is trying to unsubscribe and experiences problems he
should contact directly the moderators at
users-owner(AT)openoffice.apache.org
They will work with you to help you unsubscribe. Complaining to the
whole mailing list will only annoy some hundreds people.

This was already discussed, but, as you already found out, this is not
an issue with these lists.

AMAZING -- Case of Subscription via a Remailer Address [was: Re:
Removing yourself from the list :)]
Posted by Tom Panfil <ta...@verizon.net>.
Hello OpenOffice Apache Moderators,
I don't want to unsubscribe from any of the three project lists to which
I subscribe (users, dev, api) but like you, I've seen too many
requests sent to the lists from people who want to unsubscribe. I
assume that something is finally done administratively to unsubscribe
their addresses since they eventually stop pestering.
Many people who are members of ACM or IEEE or other professional
associations register using a Remailer Address serviced by the
organization. The use of a Remailer Address enables provision of at
least the following services by the organization:
* Virus scanning of mail sent to the member's "Remailer Address"
* Quarantining of S--- sent to the member's "Remailer Address" --
Note that I did not use the "S-Word" since using it might cause
Verizon refuse to send the message considering it to be S----.
* Forwarding of non-infected non-S--- messages to the member's ISP
provided addresses.
* Ease of changing of ISPs by simply registering a new ISP supplied
e-mail address with the Remailer Service so that mail sent to the
Remailer address is forwarded to the member's "new" current ISP
provided address. Correspondents need not be informed of the change
of ISP.
These people *cannot* send from their Remailer Addresses. They can and
usually do include their preferred Remailer Address in the Reply-To
field of their message headers. Their e-mail messages are sent from
their ISP provided addresses.
So, I think that a significant proportion of those who send to the list
asking to be removed have tried sending to the address in the footer of
the messages and were not removed from the list since they are
subscribed with a Remailer Address. That address from which they are
send is different from the address which is subscribed
I recommend that some mechanism be established for such subscribers to
take action to be removed from OpenOffice Apache lists. The
instructions they need should be provided in the footer with the other
three instructions.
I can't imagine that *no* developers and maintainers of OpenOffice know
of Remailer Addresses. How could this problem have festered so long?
Does the project cadre really not know about Remailer Addresses? If
you can maintain Apache projects you must be able to understand this
dilemma now that I have explained it somewhat clearly, I think.
Note that I am subscribed via an IEEE Remailer address.
I'd no doubt have the same problem which these other poor souls have if
I'd try to unsubscribe.

To my experience --being a moderator for a couple of years-- one of the
most common mistakes is that subscribers are trying to remove themselves
with a different email address but the one that is subscribed to the list.

Removing yourself from the list :)
Posted by Shari <we...@gmail.com>.
It's simple to be removed, however not by sending in an email requesting
it. As it says at the bottom of every email. Just click the email
address and send from the address you're receiving the emails to, and it
should happen automatically.
To unsubscribe, e-mail:users-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org
Good luck!

This is not a glitch. It is in general a good idea to read your supposedly annoying mail. Close to the bottom is says how to unsubscribe.
Sincerely,
Tom

Good luck! I asked several weeks ago to be removed and am still on this list.
