Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

I present for your consideration an example of what Apple is appending to
lists.apple.com traffic these days:

	 _______________________________________________
	Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
	X11-users mailing list      ([email protected])
	Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/x11-users/tgl%40sss.pgh.pa.us
	
	This email sent to [email protected]

(This is in addition to List-Unsubscribe and the other standard headers.)

I don't know whether the mail software we use can cope with customizing
trailers per-user like this.  But if it can, I submit that an
unmistakable how-to-unsubscribe link would be lots more useful than the
TIPS are.

			regards, tom lane
