How about web-based email clients? Does e.g. hotmail have an ability to show the headers?

Don't know, never used or needed to use that spam server. I have my MTA set to automatically mark all mail from hotmail as spam with the exception of list members. But any other webmail interface I have used does allow you to view the headers.

Let me give you an example of that link mailto:suse-linux-e-unsubscribe-youremailaddy=yourdomain.com@suse.com Keep it, file it, and for god's sake, do not use another person's. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Leen, Hotmail is owned by Microsoft for sometime now, what would be your first guess, knowing that? ;-)

µs or not, it's free. ;P Cheers, Leen -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

So are Google's Gmail and Novell's MyRealBox, among others.

MyRealBox is not currently accepting applications, and as far as GMail...well, if anybody wants an invite, I'm still availible. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Not Nessacerely, I have done what they have said to do and it doesn't allways work. I think this is what makes the others so upset. You do what it says and they still don't take you off. Have had it happen to me. So I wouldn't get to upset with every one.

It has probably been asked before as we have seen this kind of topic since times immemorial.. But why not add a line to the footer stating how to unsubscribe too. So the ones not being able to (or dont know how to) read the headers get the picture? Its probably faster then to to try to educate everyone coming in here... Not that i can understand why you'd want to unsubscribe from the list voluntarily.. :) --          /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email   : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web     : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78  46 1C EE 56 >

It's decided by the same people who insist on not having replies go automatically from the list. It's that way because they said so. emphasis following Don't expect them to understand reason. /emphasis

You are inciting. You were in the last ?? dozen discussions about "reasons". There are valid reasons and they HAVE been explained. And sigs are *supposed* to be limited to a maximum of four lines plus the "-- " sig indicator. It is perfectly clear how to subscribe/unsubscribe, but *requires* reading the information in front of one. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
