[vlc] unsubscribe

[Steve MacLaren]

Yes, how very helpful, to point yet again to those worthless instructions.  The only problem is, for at least the past year or so, they do not work.  The system is broken.  When you try and confirm your decision to unsubscribe,  minutes after receiving the confirmation string, you receive the following:

The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your
original message.

- Results:
    Ignoring non-text/plain MIME parts
    Invalid confirmation string.  Note that confirmation strings expire
approximately 3 days after the initial subscription request.  If your
confirmation has expired, please try to re-submit your original request or
message.

- Unprocessed:

 for mailing list vlc
    We have received a request for the removal of your email address,
    "samaclaren at yahoo.com" from the vlc at videolan.org mailing list.  To
    confirm that you want to be removed from this mailing list, simply
    reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact.  Or visit
    this web page:
      
  http://mailman.videolan.org/confirm/vlc/7bb5a47505a0f87ef2d1d869cb84f23e0ba69634
    Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a
    message to vlc-request at videolan.org:
        confirm 7bb5a47505a0f87ef2d1d869cb84f23e0ba69634
    Note that simply sending a `reply' to this message should work from
    most mail readers, since that usually leaves the Subject: line in the
    right form (additional "Re:" text in the Subject: is okay).
    If you do not wish to be removed from this list, please simply
    disregard this message.  If you think you are being maliciously
    removed from the list, or have any other questions, send them to

Ignored.  How very appropriate, as this is what we must continue to do until they fix the problem.

Really, Really, Not Best Regards,

What about reading the end of the mails ?

Or just reading the headers of EVERY mail:
List-Unsubscribe: ,
        
?

Not Best Regards,
