Don't change the body at all. I just unsubscribed and resubscribed and it worked fine. My steps: 1. send "unsubscribe" in the body to ruby-talk-ctl@ruby-lang.org from my subscribed email address. 2. get back an email for confirmation. 3. hit reply, hit send.

Do make sure that it too is sent from the subscribed address. (I use email address extensions to sort into mailboxes and track spammers... like Nicholas Meyler!) 4. Get a final response that you've been unsubscribed. Extra data: I'm using osx's mail.app and sending/receiving plain text email. Your mail client should also be sending plain text email to ruby-talk-ctl@.
