[Hou-announce] How to unsubscribe

[Michael Silverhands]

Greetings from Michael Silverhands, your friendly neighborhood list  
administrator:

A subject that comes up from time to time is "How do I unsubscribe  
from these email lists?" It isn't intuitively obvious, so I should  
probably post instructions every now and then.

Here are some step-by step instructions that will hopefully help  
someone. These instructions should work the same for every email list  
that runs on the Ansteorra server.

1) First, notice that every email list (including this one) includes  
a block of text at the end of every single message. The block is  
always some variant of this:
> Hou-announce mailing list
> Hou-announce at lists.ansteorra.org
> http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/hou-announce-ansteorra.org

For other lists, "Hou-announce" will be replaced by the other list's  
name, e.g. "Stargate" or "Gatesedge". The very last line is a  
hyperlink to a web page ("http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ 
{name of list}-ansteorra.org").

If you want to unsubscribe from a list or change any other options,  
just click that link..

2) Your browser should display a page labeled "{name of list} Info  
Page". Towards the end of that page is a section headed "{name of  
list} Subscribers". There follows some text, "To unsubscribe from  
{name of list}, get a password reminder, or change your subscription  
options enter your subscription email address:". Enter your  
subscription address (for example, "myemail at address.com", without the  
quotes) in that field and click the button labeled "Unsubscribe or  
edit options".

3) Your browser should next display a page headed "{name of list}  
list: member options for user {your email address}". In the middle of  
the page there's a big header, "Unsubscribe", with a button below it  
labeled "Unsubscribe". Click that button. You should receive an email  
right away asking you to confirm the request. When you receive that  
email, follow the directions in it. Just click "Reply", and send the  
message back to where you got it from, without editing, adding,  
deleting or changing anything.

Hopefully that helps. These instructions should work the same for  
every email list on the Ansteorra server.

In service,
Michael
