Thanks for your reply, but I can't see how this could work? Aren't the
subscription to the Ubuntu Linux web site and to the ubuntu-users
mailing list two separate things? Besides, I already changed my e-mail
address for ubuntu-users, so unsubscribing from the mailing list
couldn't possibly anymore affect my subscription to Ubuntu Linux web
site, even if this would work otherwise.
