Ya know, this gets old rather quickly.  Every message that comes thru 
this, or almost any mail server running a list, has unsubscribe 
directions appended to EVERY MESSAGE it transmits.  This is usually 
appended after any signatures that may be part of the message, but 
below the newline, dash dash space newline seen as a "-- " which is the 
convention for marking a 'signature'.

Now, just to prove its there, I'm going to copy & paste it back into 
this reply, but above the signature demarcation string "-- "
------
To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org 
with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact 
listmaster@lists.debian.org
------
Those are the unsubscribe instructions.  Bear in mind that the 
unsubscribe message must come from the exact email address that you 
used to subscribe to this list with.  And that you will BE REQUIRED to 
respond to the confirming message the server will send you before the 
unsubscribe action will be completed.

If you do NOT see the "Cheers, Gene" and the rest of my signature about 
5 lines below this one, then I'd consider your email agent (M$ OLE) as 
being either broken or miss-configured, and you should look around for 
one thats more standards compliant.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
