The pain seems to be at your end. From the headers: List-Id: Technical discussions relating to FreeBSD <freebsd-hackers.freeb= sd.org> List-Archive: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-hackers+help@freebsd.org> List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org> List-Subscribe: <mailto:freebsd-hackers+subscribe@freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:freebsd-hackers+unsubscribe@freebsd.org> More to the point, though: User-Agent: Webmail Free/1.6.7 Is that the culprit maybe? Even then, though, the name of the mailing list should be clear. After all, you sent your message to it: Cc: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org Does your MUA not display that? > type one's email to unsubscribe, receive an email asking for a > response, sending the reply, and last but not least being delivered > a confirmation email ... Most of this is common courtesy. Is it so difficult to use your webmail MUA? Maybe you should consider changing. > Could not the process of (un)subscribing be much simpler ? > Or has most of the communication already moved to other means ? Once it was simple. The advent of webmail seems to be the problem. I suppose we could consider adding information in the .sig, but so far there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for it.
