I know what you meant and I agree. Confusingly there are also two Bobs in that thread. :-) But I am a pedantic sort and so must say that every message does have the unsubscribe instructions added to the bottom of the message. But whether it is displayed or not depends upon your mailer. Signed messages like mine usually cause the mailer to only display the signed part of the message. Additional parts are hidden. Look at the raw message. Scroll down to the bottom. The mailing list includes them on each message. But your mailer doesn't show you anything outside the signed portion. Additionally the headers of every message also includes subscribe and unsubscribe information. It was just a shame that it was my message that was replied to since most of the messages are not signed. The majority of the messages will have that text plainly dislayed. To add some value to this message I will say that in the last 5704 messages sent to debian-user in the last 120 days there were there were 34 posters who signed 775 messages. There were 764 posters who did not sign 764 messages. There were 4.3% (34) of the posters signing 13.6% (775) of the messages. There were 95.7% (764) of the posters not signing 86.4% (4929) of the messages. There were an average of 47.5 messages per day. Bob
