Sorry, no, Phil.  No-one can unsubscribe you.  Here's a suggestion:

Empty your mailbox of stuff from users@libreoffice.org.  Then unsubscribe from the address you 
believe you are subescribed under, which naturally enough is the one which receives the emails. 
 There is normally only a few seconds' delay between sending your message and getting the reply 
to act on.  If you don't get one, check an incoming email and see if the address is the one you 
thought.  You might have another email address which you forward to your main address.

The address to send your mail to is at the bottom of this mail.  Clicking or right-clicking on 
that should open an email message to send.

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.

Yes, the footer says clearly:

Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@libreoffice.org

So you send a message, to get the unsubscribe instructions. As you
said, there's a difference in the mailto-address for the "regular
mail" and the "digest" version of the mailing list.

The "no-mail" option exists for those people who follow the lists
through a news gateway like gmane. You need to be subscribed, to send
messages, but you'll get the replies through your newsreader. So
there's no need to send you the mails extra.


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?


As to your question, I don't know the answer, and we'll have to wait for the owner.  I'm just a 
moderator.


I don't know, if this possibility exists for the lists at
libreoffice.org. I am a moderator too, but I haven't come across
anything like it. I might ask on the moderators list, if this is
possible - if James isn't faster. :)

Sigrid
