So if this is the case, I would expect that such a "tag" is visible in all clients, such as that produced by MS, otherwise these advertisements would be useless; they *must* be working with Outlook. So does the Suse server not have the same tool? What am I missing here (not trying to belabor the point, it's just that this issue occurs at least once a week)?
It displays in any client that works correctly - and by definition, those of M$ don't :-P
Just been reading this thread, I thought I'd make it known that M$ Outbreak does show the signature part just fine, so the idiot cannot hide behind that excuse.
He's not an idiot and he's using Thunderbird on a Unix machine. Which as far as I know shows the signature part of a mail just fine. However there are different techniques to unsubscribe from a mailinglist, some require you to send a mail with unsubscribe in the subject, some want you to write to a special alias, others want to have a certain string (and in a second step an confirmation string) in the mail. So why not just ignore those mistakes? He'll probably have noticed that it didn't work, be a bit ashamed of himself and then figured out how to do it correctly. Which as a consequence means that he'll never read all those replies. So why? Why, do we always have so much replies to an unsuccessful unsubscribe process? Of course it seems funny, "haha, so hard to miss that info at the bottom? Boy ...". But after so many times that happens it's just tiering ... If he really has a problem he'll search in the wiki or write a mail to the mailing list (or if it's not to annoying just give up and keep receiving mails, but that's his own fault then).
