that list, but each of the lists has a slightly different email address
so it seems I just keep doing it and doing it and doing it. Sigh.

Well, there is a robot at the other end of the mailpipe... I today got a
mail back from it with a very long and involved note about all the
wonderful things it could do, if only it understood my mail. At the end,
it said to unsubscribe, I needed to send it a message in which the first
non blank line contained the single word "unsubscribe", and nothing
else.

Attached to that helpful note was a copy of one of my messages that it
had trouble with. It was a message in which the first non blank line
contained the single word "unsubscribe", and nothing else.
