(You probably mean "unsub wg-multicast Alex Crosswell" :)

Something a lot of people seem to not know is RFC2369 which defines 
(amongst others) the following great headers (copied from the mail Alan 
sent):

List-Id: <wg-multicast.internet2.edu>
List-Help: 
<mailto:?subject=help>
List-Unsubscribe: 
<mailto:?subject=unsubscribe%20wg-multicast>
List-Archive: <https://mail.internet2.edu/wws/arc/wg-multicast>

As you can see, that includes a really handy unsubscribe url ;)
At least Mailman and apparently Sympa use these headers properly, other 
mailinglist software should also do so avoiding a lot of these issues.

Thunderbird users probably want to install:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/576
Which gives them direct access to those links. Very handy for getting 
rid of a lot of lists you don't read anyways.

Greets,

  (Yeah, spamming 649+/-20 people is always great ;)
