Actually I am trying to subscribe not unsubscribe If I cant unsubscibe I might just give up and setup a email filter to kill the messages...or if I was upset enough I might set them to auto-bounce unthil they stopped but so far I have never once had trouble getting off a list I subscribed myself to. As a matter of fact I just recently unsubscribed my old email from the list just before trying to subscibe again with my new mail accounts.
