How To Unsubscribe From This List

Sadly, the mailing list software is not too clever in that area.  In other
words, I cannot block HTML.  FAQ may well be the best bet, either that or
have a script that just prompts for an email address.  But why would anyone
want to leave anyway ;~}

The unsubscribe instructions are at the bottom of every TEXT email but
not email sent in HTML. Perhaps HTML should be blocked.

Nice work on the unsubscribe instructions, Steve.

It oughta be a FAQ on the web site.

Then all we have to do is give the URL to the
FAQ.
