NOT a good answer but it could be a temporary fix.  I have never tried 
to un-sub here, but isn't there an option to get your user name and 
password mailed to you?  And if not, why not?

It is very frustrating to not be able to un-sub from a list, especially 
when there are lots of posts you aren't interested in.  This is one way 
to get on spam lists.  I apparently am on one due to a shared mail 
server, because I have a non-yahoo support post that has never shown up 
and is probably sitting in the spam folder (hi moderators!).

Matt did the right thing, especially using said subject line, because 
many mailing lists will route posts with this word to the moderators.  
And gmail does count junk/trash against your quota from what I have seen.

Matt, have you tried emailing lschiere at pidgin.im, mark at 
kingant.net, seanegan at pidgin.im?

Oh and moderators, I'm not a programmer but I do moderate various lists 
so if you're looking for volunteers let me know...
