No, you have not been unsubscribed.  It happens from time to time, not 
very frequently, that random addresses will get that message sent to 
them.  To be honest, I am not sure if the problem is with mailman doing 
it, or if random outside people get access to the unsubscribe links in 
the footer of messages, and send malicious email just for fun.  It seems 
more likely that it is an artifact of the mailman system as currently 
installed, kept running by being pieced together with bubble gum and 
bailing wire, or more currently, nylon tie wraps.  Nobody uses bailing 
wire anymore, though I do have maybe 60 - 70 feet of it on a stick out 
in the garage.

So don't worry, nothing has happened to your subscription, you are still 
on whatever lists you subscribed to.
