It's people like you that inspired me to write an autoresponder.  You
miss the bleeding obvious.

Your message to unsubscribe was sent to the wrong email address and
likely no action was taken.  Please take a moment to read the
instructions on the header and footer of every message sent to the
Debian User mailing list, reproduced here:

(header)
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:debian-user-request@lists.debian.org?subject=unsubscribe>  

(footer)
To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with a
subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster@lists.debian.org

Both work.  If one doesn't work for you, try the other.

Don't panic.  Getting rude, setting up autoresponders, or otherwise
making a pest of yourself won't get you anywhere other than people's
filters and you'll only annoy the people trying to help.  In short,
you'll dramatically reduce the number of people that would have been
otherwise willing to try and help.

If you are having difficulty unsubscribing, you may want to try
Debian's handy web interface for subscription management.  This is
available at http://lists.debian.org/

Failing that, contact the listmaster[1] and be patient, or explain
(politely! [1]) on list what your situation is.

This is an automated response, Baloo has not seen your message, and no
action has likely been taken to get you off the list.


[1] A good subject would be along the lines of "difficulty
unsubscribing from debian-user" or "...debian-user-digest," explain
what you have tried, post the headers from your most recently recieved
message (as this might help us narrow down the difficulty).  Give as
much detail as you can.
