Hi,
I want to create one mailbox for this mailing list only, and receive mails there.
How I can unsubscribe from this mailing list?
Sincerely,
Asset

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.

This seems to come up fairly frequently
Would it be impossible for the list software to add a footer to messages
with the unsubscribe info?
It's already in the message header.

The people who read headers don't need instructions on how to
unsubscribe, its the others who are asking 
If people don't remember how they subscribed, and/or can't be bothered
to at least check if the same method of subscription allows for
managing/changing the subscription (which the ML demon tells you about
in a separate email, including how to get help information!), that's
hardly the ML administrator's problem.

I subscribed recently (i used to just ready comp.lang.ruby) and
remember it took several go rounds to get the subscription completed
successfully
I made a point of sending the guide message and having a look
I knew the address to unsubscribe was a bit different but couldn't
remember how, so asked google.
I see there is a nice unsubscribe web form
(http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/), so maybe
having this as a regular message footer?
The Ruby family has always been very friendly, why not be as friendly
in letting people leave
Actually, it is, because it eventually hits the list, as Chris has pointed out. If they don't look it up or are lazy or whatever, then threads like this start up.
Chris is right. Something in a global footer like a url to all this, would avoid these threads. Or perhaps an administration post once a week.
