Body
If you are going away and do not want to receive mass Listserv mail during your absence, you can turn off all or some of your mass mail. This article explains how to temporarily turn mass mail off and on for Listservs you are subscribed to.
Unsubscribing from these lists will accomplish the same goal but only if you unsubscribe from all 6 lists. If your goal is to unsubscribe from only a few of the lists (e.g. only the -all lists) you must use the method described below.
