I think people here are talking about the message footers, not the message headers, which are totally different things. I'm not sure how you'd go about viewing them on Outlook, as I use Evolution, and it has a nice convenient, "View All Message Headers" option.

I assume Ronald won't see this, but I've mentioned it before. The emails coming from the mailing list all have an unsubscribe link in the header information.

To make a page to find out where the unsubscribe link is in each kind of email type is paranoid. I mean the link is coming from the mail server, so just to say: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net would be sufficient, wouldn't it? Maybe some (other lawyer) could clean up that unsubscribe page.

I'm NOT looking to unsubscribe, but I am curious about something. How come Ash's message has the list footer (complete with the unsubscribe link) and Ronald's does not? I thought it was supposed to get appended to all messages from the list. (Actually, looking back at some other messages in my box, it seems kind of hit and miss.) Andrew

It's because some use the newsserver and some are subscribed to the mailinglist directly. Newsserver subscriptions don't have them attached, while mailinglist-mails do I believe. - Tul Both are added by the mailinglist-software before resending them. Thunderbird can view all headers easily aswell; I don't use outlook either, but I believe I did see an option to view them there once... some time ago...
