Jan (and other interested parties)

On mailinglists with more subscribers than e.g. 30 people you're not supposed 
to mail the list with requests to 
unsubscribe, unless you are desperate.

Most of the worlds mailing lists work similarly in how you're able to 
unsubscribe. There's usually a certain 
email address and a certain web address.

** Using email **

There's a pattern here:

haiku@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - the list, the address you post to
haiku-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - the list robot, for unsubscription

Sometimes there's a standard list admin address, like e.g. 
haiku-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx  (only meant for desparate cases)


** Using a browser **

Visit the list webpage, and use its unsubscribe feature.
//www.freelists.org/list/haiku
//www.freelists.org/list/haiku-development
//www.freelists.org/list/haiku-i18n
 ...
They're all listed on this page:

Should you fail to unsubscribe:

- Double-check that the address you're trying to unsubscribe from is the one 
that you're actually subscribed 
with, the one you're receiving ML posts to.

- Check your spam folder for an email of the sort "please confirm this ..." by 
replying or visiting an URL.
