Damn it. I'm just about convinced that it is the fault of mail client 
software used by list members. The problem is that important headers 
are suppressed.

List-Unsubscribe: 
<http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/g4>, 
<mailto:g4-request at listserver.themacintoshguy.com?subject=unsubscribe>
List-Archive: <http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/pipermail/g4>
List-Post: <mailto:g4 at listserver.themacintoshguy.com>
List-Help: <mailto:g4-request at listserver.themacintoshguy.com?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: 
<http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/g4>, 
<mailto:g4-request at listserver.themacintoshguy.com?subject=subscribe>
Sender: g4-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com

Is the way I saw the headers and the List-Unsubscribe instructions 
are simple and clear. Most mail clients would recognize the mailto: 
method in the URL making unsubscribe just two mouse clicks, execute 
the mailto and send.

Or is it, perhaps, that people who have problems just don't read. Are 
there language barriers? Do folks not know that email has header 
lines? Is the client software all that bad that it isn't easy to ask 
to see the headers?

Or are folks trying the unsubscribe header and not replying to the 
resulting confirmation message? That's really necessary to prevent 
malicious unsubscribing by felons.

Sigh.
