It seemed pretty understandable how to get removed from the list, except=20
that the instructions could have been more explicit. I would change the=20
line that tells you how to unsubscribe, as shown below:
To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an=
=20
email to techwr-l+u...@techwr-l.com, except that the only change I would=20
make to your instructions is this:
techwr-l+unsubscribe@techwr-l.com
*Note: *When you include text that needs to be exact, you should not insert=
=20
ellipses in place of the precise text that should be used. Especially when=
=20
the text you need to enter is used as code, as there are people of varying=
=20
skills on this list.=20
