Re: unsubscribing (was: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Trivia Question - Further Observation)

Hi :)
The first email is meant to be informative and show many options, not just for 
unsubscribing but for many other functions.  The part about how to unsubscribe 
is this bit
"To unsubscribe send a message to:

users+unsubscribe@libreoffice.org
"

So, to unsubscribe try sending an email to 
users+unsubscribe@libreoffice.org

Notice that the "users+" part at thte beginning is an important part of the 
address but in some  email clients it gets treated differently from the rest of 
the address, ie not blue and underlined.

It doesn't matter what, if anything, is in the subject-line and it doesn't need 
anything in the contents of the email either.  Note that when you send an email 
to that address you get a proper confirmation email which sometimes gets thrown 
out by spam filters.

I hope that helps!
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Which may not be most helpful.

The confirmation email I still have states:
####
Welcome! You have been subscribed to the
users@libreoffice.org mailinglist.
To unsubscribe send a message to:

users+unsubscribe@libreoffice.org
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And for help send a message to:
users+help@libreoffice.org
####

And, to the OP, if you put your request inside another thread with an unchanged 
subject, it'll get missed. If you start a new thread with a suitable subject 
line you'll get more folk's attention. And simply saying "without success" won't 
help anyone diagnose possible problems - /exactly how/ did you try to 
unsubscribe? What happened (or not) as a result?
