If it would have worked, why do we have such a repetitive thread of folks telling us the same thing now, for the couple of months I've been here?
Well, thunderbird's threading seems to be subject-based, and I can see (counts) 10 recent messages subject 'unsubscribe', non of which are to debian-user-request, which is what the instructions state. So, I'd err on the side of idiocy, rather than broken list software.
