I'm afraid your win-centric methods of containing spam may have led you to 
not ever get the confirmation of subscription status change email that the 
server will send you, and that message MUST be responded to in order to 
effect the unsubscribe.

Also, a potential problem with some versions of tbird is the fact that some 
versions do not display signature text occuring after the normal sig 
seperator of a "newline,dash,dash,space,newline" sequence that is pretty 
universally used to seperate body text from signature stuff, the end 
result being that you personally never see the last line of the sig which 
is the address of the listserver that allows you to do your own 
unsubscribe operations.  Given the sheer size of these lists, its a bit 
unkind to ask the operator to personally edit the list to remove you when 
you can so easily do it yourself.

That address is:<https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users>
You can unsubscribe there, and you must receive the confirmation msg, and 
do a simple reply to the confirmation message the server will send you.  
You don't have to add a thing to the msg when you reply.

This tag marking you are doing is completely foreign to the spamassassin & 
its ilks way of handling the spam problem, which it (SA) is doing here 
with an accuracy of well over 99%.

IMO you are not giving linux a fair chance to prove its far more stable and 
secure than whats coming out of Redmond, WA.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
