The problem the other guy was having (I think) was that the was
actually subscribed to "debian-user-digest", rather than "debian-user".
You need to unsubscribe from that list by sending your unsubscription
request to "debian-user-digest-request@lists.debian.org".
^^^^^^
So, you really weren't a member of "debian-user" -- you were a
member of "debian-user-digest".
Probably the digests should have their own unsubscription footer.
(Maybe there is?) I would hope that the debian-user "how to
unsubscribe" footer isn't included in the digests... that would
be confusing.
