I actually took pity on this guy and unsubscribed him manually.  This was
actually one of the few people pleading to unsubscribe that actually had
the email address that they used to plead in the subscriber database.

Usually, the mail comes from "bob@bushwah.org" and the address that needs
to be unsubscribed is "Robert.Johnson@Wah.11.San.Francisco.Bush.org".  That's
why I always try to get people to unsubscribe themselves since the information
from the header (like what Randall provided) allows them to do that with ease.

I wonder if putting that gif image on the web site would be worthwhile.  It
would be interesting to see how often Randall would have to resubscribe to
the list.  :-)
