Bug#717666: apache2: Internal Server Error when using an option that doesn't change anything

[Nuno Paquete <nunopaquete@gmail.com>]

Hi,

In the paste I subscribed some bug lists for specific packages and now I want to unsubscribe it.
This particular list is about bugs for Apache I suppose, I also receive emails for Bind bugs.
I've already tryed to unsubscribe on http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/unsubscribe but I continue to receive this kind of emails.
I'm repplying to this email to get some help for unsubscribe this specific list.

Any suggestions would be greattly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Nuno Paquete
