Hi,
I thought that people know which email address they want to unsubscribe. True, they might not remember it.
The one bit of information which was obsolete was the fact that the -nnnnn in the Return-Path need to be included in the unsubscribe email address.
I will restore a part of the previous version.
Something like :
To determine which email address you are subscribed under, look at the headers of the message and pick up this information from the Return-Path header.
Regards,
Antoine

Antoine,
you removed Jan's information about the Return-Path Header and how you
can use it to find the subscribed address. Has this been intentional?
