Let's keep in mind that many folks won't be reading this
list on a Debian (or even Linux) system. However, we must not
judge them for this, we can only pity them, for the wheels of
destiny have inflicted many a misfortune upon otherwise noble souls.
However, if the unsubscription instructions aren't "cross-platform",
people are sure to start posting in frustration to the list itself.
