I agree with Craig Ringer: This is no nightmare. Heartbleed was a
nightmare; this thing was barely a bump in the road from the
perspective of an ordinary list member.

It would have been barely noticible, except for the avalanche of people
sending emails subjected "unsubscribe". Who does that? Yeah, the
unsubscribe link was missing from the emails, but it's easy enough to
go back to the 10/27 email to get that link, or look it up in a search
engine.

I'm on more than 50 lists, so this kind of thing happens all the time.
You notice that go into your inbox instead of the correct folder,  so
you investigate and adjust your filters (.procmailrc in my case) and
move on.

Thanks to all of you who have kept this list going for years and are
continuing to do so!
