  I also noticed that the list-unsubscribe addresses are broken; I dropped a
note to the overseers' list on Friday.  However, at least for me, the web
interface /is/ working: read on.

  Look in the headers of any post you receive from the list.  There will be a
"list-unsubscribe" header, that should contain the email address that you're
actually subbed under, in USER=DOMAIN.TLD format.  If you convert the = to an
@ and post it into the web form you should get a confirmation request more or
less straight away; I just tested it for me and it's still working this
morning.


    cheers,
