I argued against this decision when it was made.

The vast majority of people who will click on that link to get
instructions, want to unsubscribe, not read all of the other instructions.

Each list should have TWO links - one, to actually send the unsubscribe
message, and then the second, to get ADDITIONAL instructions if desired.

Requiring people to first get instructions just creates confusion and
dramatically increases the number of 'ubsubscribe me now!' complaints to
the list.


I also agree.

When I had originally documented the "Get Involved" section of the website (pre-David website), one of lines that I had gotten the most off-line "thank you" was the line that I had added:

Unsubscribe: users+unsubscribe@libreoffice.org

I had added this for each of the mailists (with the appropriate mailist group of course). I received many off-line emails thanking me for adding these lines as they apparently said that this had been a longstanding request on the OOo mailists which just seemed to be ignored for no apparent reason.

When people want to unsubscribe they are no longer interested in receiving messages, so we should give them as direct as possible way to unsubscribe. A simple link to a mailto: is all they want.

Cheers

Marc
