Given the recent spate of pranks involving people being signed up for
mailing lists against their will (Rush Limbaugh and Emmanuel
Goldstein were both victims with the result being 300+ messages an
hour) I think we should steal a good idea another list I'm one uses
Namely adding to the header:
X-Comment: TO UNSUBSCRIBE: email "unsub poly" to listserv_at_lupine.org
Obviously we should tailor it to let people know how to unsub from
OUR list, but you get the idea. If you're not familiar with the way
SMTP handles headers, you don't see this unless you make a specific
effort to do so - it's not displayed normally.
While many people won't think to look there, it makes sure the
information is available to those in the know.
Just a suggestion.
