No, that goes to users+help, not to users+unsubscribe@libreoffice.org (apparently to accommodate the 
differences for people who subscribed to the digest -- or used -nomail, in which case I have no idea 
why they'd bother to unsubscribe). Whoever is trying to unsubscribe will probably get there in the 
end, though. But if they don't know the subscribed address, they'll need to look at the Return-Path 
header and pick out the indirect form (using equals instead of at) of the subscribed address, and 
unsubscribe that.

Question to moderator/owner -- the help doesn't describe anything that uses the indirect form in the 
case of a subscribed address that is no longer directly accessible. Does that capability exist? How 
does it work, if so?
