Greetings everyone,

I usually don't reply to these emails for the lack of success from previous encounters. However, there is a more promising method: All of the mailing lists running "mailman" leave a URL in the header of their emails containing the address for subscription or unsubscription. In this case:


List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/options/open-glam>, <mailto:open-glam-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>

Opening up the URL allows anyone to enter an email address and click on "unsubscribe". The next thing the user is going to receive is an email asking for confirmation to unsubscribe. 

This way the user will usually unsubscribe without any further 1:n-Communication over the mailing list. The only downside is that there is no learning effect for anyone. Which is not worse than the current situation.

Mathias

(I "unsubscribed" Raluca and Lilith. All they need to do is click on the link in their inbox).
