Many popular mail-clients bury headers under one or more levels of user-friendliness. For example gmail, has a show details link, which DOESN'T show the headers. You have to click on a pull-down list next to the reply link and select " Show original" So, for the OP if you still haven't managed to unsubscribe, the way to do it is to send an email from the email address which is receiving the postings to ruby-talk-ctl@ruby-lang.org with just the text unsubscribe as the body of the email. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ ------=_Part_10854_20468216.1214406593522--
