Austin,

Unbelievable. I assume you are right but when I go to use the  
unsubscribe form, all it does is send me an e-mail telling me to send an  
e-mail to removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid with nothing but unsubscribe in  
the body. Of course, Yahoo always appends a little blurb at the bottom  
of every e-mail so I can never send an e-mail with ONLY unsubscribe in  
the body. I think whatever is parsing those e-mails to ruby-talk-ctl  
could use some help. Anyway, if someone knows how to stop the e-mails to  
a yahoo address other than redirecting them to my spam folder, please  
advise. Thanks!

You should be getting responses from ruby-talk-ctl. If you’re not,  
then something indeed is up; if you are, you might have problems  
because Yahoo is always sending in a multipart/alternative format.

Use the unsubscribe form:
