The argument could be false positives: people that get unsubscribed although they did not intend to unsubscribe. Example: Say I run a list manager (e.g. mailman) on my own computer, some users have problems unsubscribing, I don't know how to help them, so I post a question on debian-user with the subject "unsubscribe problems with mailman". I think there would be a high chance that I myself would then get unsubscribed although that would be clearly unintended. I guess I would then get a warning email before I am really unsubscribed, but still... Argument two would be that we don't want to encourage laziness in people that don't even read the unsubscribe instructions and just assume that you can unsubscribe by replying. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: keyserver.net ID 0x1735C5C2 "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill
