[Wikinews-l] I WANT TO UNSUBSCRIBE

Tue Aug 16 15:12:14 UTC 2005

Hello,
if you want to unsubscribe, please use http://mail.wikimedia.org/ then go to 
the list you want to unsubscribe, go to the very bottom of the page of this 
list, enter your mail-adress and press "unsubscribe or edit options". At the 
end, you'll have probably have to send a confirmation email-reply.
But anyway: Was it really necessary to send 7 (!) emails to the list? 
Regards
M. Bimmler
