When you really need help, the "Linux crowd" (if there is such a thing)
generally tries to get you to think for yourself. It's far more beneficial
in the long run...

I've just been to the list control page and tried a number of things,
which appear to work. I confess I haven't actually tried unsubscribing
(becuase I don't want to unsubscribe), but I can't imagine that alone
would fail.

So what symptoms do you get when you try it?

Ooooh. Email abuse. You'd be amazed just how annoyed people will get. Have
you checked the AUPs for all your accounts?

Doubt it. But it might well get your gmail account yanked.

Probably not. JM seems quite busy at the mo. Chances are, he won't even
see your little action until long after others of us have attempted to
remove the problem.

Bye, then. I'm staying here.

You appear to be reading a different list to me. The problems you have
unsubscribing from that list would appear to have nothing to do with
Whitebox.

HTH, HAND, etc.
