If that's true, you're going to hate the NASA lists. They write at the bottom
of every email:

=======================================

NASA press releases and other information are available automatically
by sending an Internet electronic mail message to [log in to unmask]
In the body of the message (not the subject line) users should type
the words "subscribe press-release" (no quotes).  The system will
reply with a confirmation via E-mail of each subscription.  A second
automatic message will include additional information on the service.
NASA releases also are available via CompuServe using the command
GO NASA.  To unsubscribe from this mailing list, address an E-mail
message to [log in to unmask], leave the subject blank, and type only
"unsubscribe press-release" (no quotes) in the body of the message.

=======================================

Of course, these guys aren't necessarily rocket scientists, either.
