Hi guys, I feel kind of bad sending this, but I just don’t seem to be managing to unsubscribe. It’s not that I don’t want to read the list, just that my inbox is getting flooded and I’d rather go to the archive to read the posts. I’ve sent repeated mails to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid (from the same email address I subscribed from) with ‘unsubscribe’ as the body, I’ve tried removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid for help and written many times to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. What am I doing wrong? Any help much appreciated! I’m about to go away for two weeks and I can’t imagine what will happen to my inbox while I’m away if I don’t get this sorted \>:( Catherine ---

Unfortunately although I was being stupid when I typed the address in my question, the attempts to unsubscribe have been going to [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org) For example this one. Ive tried with the unsubscribe both in and out of quotes… -----Original Message----- From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid To: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Sent: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 5.34PM unsubscribe ---

I, too, am having problems. I sent an unsubscribe email to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid. I received a confirmation that I had, in fact, been unsubscribed. Yet, I’m still receiving email at my work address. I figured there would be a bit of a queue before it stopped, but it’s been a day now. What gives? Thanks, Dan ---

Hi, Recently, some MUA send us command mails in base64 format, which our list server do not understand. Check your configuration, especially you’re using Gmail.

Hmm, tell us your work address at . We can unsubscribe you manually. ``` matz. ```
