<p>To subscribe to a mailinglist use the links below. In your first email you will get some
information about working with the list manager <a href="http://www.ezmlm.org/">EZMLM</a>.
But <a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-user&amp;m=115020655600019&amp;w=2">several times</a>
there were problems with unsubscribing from a mailinglist. The problem is that you use another
email adress for unsubscribing than for subscribing and ezmlm could not find that adress for
deleting from the list. So you have to find out, to which concrete email adress ezmlm is sending
the mail. This is visible in the email headers (in Microsoft Outlook via the messages menu
"View | Options").

As you can see, you'll get the help information with each mail, too.
But more important is the <i>Return-Path</i>. If you change "return" into "unsubscribe" and you send
an email to that adress (<tt>user-unsubscribe-12345-Jan.Materne=me.acme.com@ant.apache.org</tt>)
this will unsubscribe you.
