Re: [libreoffice-users] automatic updates?

Hi :)

If you want to unsubscribe then please send an email to 

users+help@global.libreoffice.org

to get instructions emailed to you.  Note the "users+" part at the beginning 
doesn't always get rendered properly in some email clients and might appear to 
not be part of the address.  It's crucial to include it though.  


It would be a shame if you do leave because i think you stir up the debate a lot 
and get people thinking.  Mostly i just delete all subject line of a certain 
type and just read the rest.  It might be better to use Gmane to avoid the 
tsunami of emails this list gets while still being able to access ones that 
interest you in a way similar to a normal forum.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
