At the bottom of every mail message that goes through the list should be a set
of instructions for how to unsubscribe and/or set options on your subscription
... and, just checking, I notice that Mulberry doesn't show it, but pine did
... *sigh*

Oh well ... I can add a message footer, which are the TIPs, so I can add some
text to each TIP, but someone give me the text to add ...

As a side note, I just made one change to the lists, in that:

listname-unsubscribe(at)postgresql(dot)org

will now work, as will -subscribe .. so that at least streamlines the text ...
but give me some suitable (and short) text that shoudl be added ...
