      ^^^^^^^

We've been seeing a LOT of these incorrectly formed unsubscribe requests
lately. I'd like to hear some suggestions as to how the unsubscribe
instructions could be stated more clearly! E.g.: Red Hat's mailing
lists show an actual command line to use to send the request, but that
only works if your e-mail system is Unix/Linux based and you have command
line access. They end with:

  --
  To unsubscribe:
  mail -s unsubscribe redhat-announce-list-request@redhat.com < /dev/null

For non-techie types, I don't think that's necessarily clearer. Ideas?
