True, but in GMail, there is a drop-down for each message that says "Show original" which shows the headers. I am not sure what other suggestion I can give to the original poster. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > On Wed, May 21, 2025 at 5:28 PM Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> wrote: > > On Wed, May 21, 2025 at 03:44:37PM +0200, Ffd wrote: > > Please you like to stop sending mail? > > If you look at your email headers, you will see a header called > "List-Unsubscribe:".

If you don't know that email headers exist, then there are instructions on the various options to unsubscribe here:
https://lists.postgresql.org/unsubscribe/
You must have been around there to subscribe in the first place

If you look at your email headers, you will see a header called
"List-Unsubscribe:". That URL will unsubscribe your email address.

I had the idea that GMail actually provides an "unsubscribe" button
based on the List-Unsubscribe headers. I don't use it for these
lists, though, so I'm not sure.

I have recorded it so I can suggest it to future posters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Paul > > On 22/05/2025 14:23, Ron Johnson wrote: > > It's 2025.

That web page has a good list of alternative email clients. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Do not let urgent matters crowd out time for investment in the future.
