I changed my preferences so that I would see a prefix in the Subject for the
Majordomo users list. All but one of my other lists are this way (including
Samba as well as OpenH323, etc) and it is easier to "filter" with my
eyeballs and maybe other psychological advantages too when I'm viewing my
usually flooded inbox. Thanks for the info on how to do this.
... But why do the messages coming from Daniel Liston (as well as from Roger
Klorese) not include the prefix? All the others seem to show it the way I
had hoped. There may be some other exceptions but these two stand out. I've
only made the change since Friday, Oct 31.

Subject: how to "unjoin" the majordomo-users list
I have seen quite a few messages to this distribution list
with just the word "remove" in the message body. For those
members wishing to discontinue their subscription, please
heed the following instructions;
The address to use for removal is different than that of
the list itself. You need to send your request to either
majordomo@greatcircle.com or majordomo-users-request at
the same domain. Which address you use will also determine
whether you use one word or two in the message body of your
request.
Example1:
To: majordomo@greatcircle.com
From: you@your.address
Subject: does not matter
unsubscribe majordomo-users
Example2:
To: majordomo-users-request@greatcircle.com
From: you@your.address
Subject: does not matter
unsubscribe
In example1, you are writing to the server address that
manages all mailing lists for the site or domain, which
is why you must specify the name of the list to be
removed from in the message body.
In example2, you are making your request through the
same management tool as example1, but through an address
that can extrapolate the name of the list automatically.
Dan Liston
