Unsubscribe yourselves the same way you got on

[Mike Brown <mi...@skew.org>]

You were not magically added to this mailing list.

You did something to get on the list, probably following
the directions on the Mailing Lists page at xml.apache.org.

http://xml.apache.org/mail.html

Look, little links to click on, marked 'Unsubscribe' ...

Just a suggestion, but have you folks that seem to having trouble with
the system actually using the appropriate email client settings?

Check your incoming headers to see who you are subscribed as, and make
sure you're sending an unsubscribe request as that ID.

If you've subscribed as A but read your mail as B, the code will not
allow you to unsubscribe the other ID.

If you've got any forwarding coming into your inbox, maybe that's the
source of your difficulties.
As an admin, many times I've inherited an employees email subscriptions
when they leave and the boss wants to catch any stray communications to
the old address.

In order to unsubscribe from most lists I have to assume that users ID
or at least munge my mail programs profile...

It's a common issue (for me anyway). Almost as common as not being able
to unsubscribe from certain lists at all ... but I suspect the reasons
are quite different - we don't want you to come see hot teen sluts and
make money NOW :-)

PS the actual syntax if you insist on trying to 'Unsubsribe' (spelling
it right always helps) is to mailto:
general-unsubscribe@xml.apache.org
from your email client.

Mike Brown,
Maybe you write smart code but your email is not.
I figured out that I did not get on this list by magic. For the third time I
have clicked all the unsubscribe links on http://xml.apache.org/mail.html
BUT I keep on getting emails. Maybe there is something wrong with your code?
I always tend to suspect my code before insulting people of madness.

Check your code pal.
