I do basically the same thing, except I check to make sure the
address on the list is close enough to the one on their mail
message that majordomo will be able to unsubscribe them -- no
sense telling them to send the message to majordomo if, for
example, they have one of the newfangled JohnSmith@compuseve.com
addresses on their mailer, and are subscribed as
71111.1111@compuserve.com... those folks I just quietly
unsubscribe. I also look to make sure they don't have odd MIME
encoding that will interfere with the command.
