RE: unsubscribe problems - 2 comments
First, it's very simple if you follow the instructions in the welcome email.
I just did it for numerous lists the morning, both unsubscribing an
alternate alias and re-subscribing a new. Unfortunately, lots of people
don't keep the welcome email, and the info isn't on the site as far as I can
tell (or at least it's not clearly marked).
Surely, someone managing the website could add the following to the top of
the lists page, put it in red, draw a box around it, and title it
"Subscribe/Unsubscribe":
------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways you can SUBSCRIBE to the list:
(1)Send a message to (where ??? is the name of the list):
<??...@jakarta.apache.org>
(2) To start a subscription for an alternate address (e.g.
"john@host.domain"), just add a hyphen and your address (with '=' instead of
'@') after the command word e.g.
<??...@jakarta.apache.org>
------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways you can UNSUBSCRIBE from the list:
(1) Send a message to (where ??? is the name of the list):
<??...@jakarta.apache.org>
(2) To stop a subscription for an alternate address, (e.g.
"john@host.domain"), just add a hyphen and your address (with '=' instead of
'@') after the command word e.g.
<??...@jakarta.apache.org>

It seems like many people are sending to
tomcat-user-unsubscribe@jakarta.apache.org
Try sending to
tomcat-user-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@jakarta.apache.org
substituting your modified email address
e.g. tomcat-user-unsubscribe-mtaylor=netonomy.com@jakarta.apache.org
No I haven't tried it yet because I'm still learning from this list. This
method was described in the original welcome message.

I guess no one pays attention to the mail list page with the links to
unsubscribe.
I do agree that it would be nice to have the instructions on that page,
though.
Maybe along with the instructions on not sending HTML format mail. Of
course,
of no-one actually reads them... ;-)
Mike.
