Re: How to unsubscribe from the coco list? Admins?

Tony,

Here is how.  I'll remove you once I get back to the office.

Unsubscribing from a LISTSERV can feel a bit like using "ancient"
technology because it often requires sending specific text commands via
email rather than just clicking a modern "Unsubscribe" link.
Depending on the specific list, you can usually leave using one of the
three methods below.
Method 1: The Email Command (Most Common)
You must send this email from the exact email address that is currently
receiving the list messages.
 * Open a new email.
 * To: Address it to the "administrative" address. This is usually listserv@
followed by the domain (e.g., listserv-FfzAktRlpg6+fUK6pPxwr/[email protected]).
   * Note: Do not send this to the list itself (e.g., discussion-group@...),
or everyone on the list will see your request.
 * Subject Line: Leave this blank.
 * Message Body: Type only the following command:
   > SIGNOFF [LISTNAME]
   > (Replace [LISTNAME] with the actual name of the list, such as SIGNOFF
GARDENING-L)
   >
 * Remove Signatures: Delete any automatic signatures, quotes, or extra
text, then hit Send.
Method 2: The "-Leave" or "-Request" Address
Some list software (like Mailman) uses a dedicated "leave" address. Try
sending a blank email to:
 * [LISTNAME]-leave-9IKiO1iGCm/[email protected]
 * [LISTNAME]-unsubscribe-9IKiO1iGCm/[email protected]
 * [LISTNAME]-request-9IKiO1iGCm/[email protected] (with the word unsubscribe in the body)
Method 3: The Web Interface
If the list is hosted by a university or large organization, they often
have a "Subscriber’s Corner" or web portal.
 * Search for the organization’s name + "Listserv web interface" (e.g.,
"UCLA Listserv login").
 * Log in with your email.
 * Find your list under Subscriptions and select Unsubscribe or Signoff.
Troubleshooting Tips
 * The "Netwide" Command: If you are on multiple lists from the same server
and want off all of them, try sending SIGNOFF * in the body.
 * Check the Footer: Most modern listservs are required to include
"Unsubscribe" instructions at the bottom of every email. Look for a tiny
link or a specific email address listed there.
 * Contact the Owner: If all else fails, email owner-[LISTNAME]@domain.com
to ask a human administrator to remove you manually.



Tempus fugit...
