Note that *most* mutt list subscribers do use mutt and understand what
a header is and understand that instructional posts you receive when
subscribing to a list need to be retained or at least their content
retained for instances such as you describe.
What makes you think that *you* or anyone else would pay more
attention to a trailer than the instructions when subscribing or those
contained in the header? I know for a fact that the trailer is *not*
a dependable solution and can site *many* instances of people
attempting to unsub by posting to the list with the instructions for
properly unsubscribing contained in *their* post.
If you are still unable to unsubscribe, send me your password, credit
card number and pin and I will be glad to take care of that small duty
for you.
ps. I also have some off-shore beach property for sale.
