Since questions like this pop up every now and then, I'll try to give a 
mini-HOWTO for canceling your subscription on your own, without having to ask 
for it.
===========
Mini HOWTO:  How to subscribe/unsubscribe from most mailing lists
-----------

You want to get onto a mailing list because you're interested in the subject, 
want to know what's going on, want to share your thoughts?  Or maybe it isn't 
that interesting any more after some time and you want to save your email 
account from countless mails you don;t have the time to read anyway?  Then 
this is the right information for you.

At the bottom of each list email you find a short summry about the list, 
including a link to a web site, like this:

> _______________________________________________
> Gimp-docs mailing list
> Gimp-docs at lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU
> https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs

By browsing to that link (point your mouse over it and click, or, if your 
email client doesn't allow that, copy&paste it into your favourite web 
browser) you'll come to this list's management page.  You might recognize it, 
it's where you subscribed for the list in the first place.  Quite near the 
bottom is a field to enter your address in case you want to unsubscribe 
again.  Enter your address there, press the "Unsubscribe or edit options" 
button to see the next page.  There's another button labeled "Unsubscribe".  
Press that one as well.  You will get one final email with further 
instructions to confirm your unsubscription, iff you really want to say good 
bye.  But don't worry, you can subscribe again any time you like on the 
afore-visited page.
===========

Print out this text, cut along the =l=i=n=e=s= and pass it on to your 
desperate mates as well, hang it on your cubicle walls or do with it whatever 
you want.

Greetings, Daniel
