True enough, but sometimes people don't *know* what they
subscribed as.  Not everyone is all that knowledgable about
mail systems, or in control of the mail system they're using.

Higher quality sendmails put the RCPT value in a header line, like
this:

Received: (from smap@localhost) by saguaro.flyingfox.com (8.6.12/8.6.10)
	id GAA24614 for <jas@flyingfox.COM>; Tue, 8 Oct 1996 06:08:06 -0700

Note the "for <jas@flyingfox.COM>"; that's who is subscribed, and
that is who would need to unsubscribe (in my case).

So, 3 tips for those wishing to unsubscribe from a mailing list:

(1) Look for a line like the one above, that lists the stated
recipient of the mail.

(2) Try to get help from you local postmaster or mail guru first;
the mailing list maintainer is probably an overworked, underpaid
volunteer.

(3) Be polite.
