Most mailing list software has a "nomail" option.
So you just send a message to the list software admin address with "nomail"
in the body, and it stops sending you mail until you send a "mail" message,
just for these temporarily out of the office situations...

Does mailman? I know majordomo does, cos I've been on a few majordomo lists
over the years. It saves the hastle of having to unsub/resub.

So maybe sending one more message saying "you've been set to nomail until
you get back. You can reactivate your subscription by sending a mail with
"mail" in the body to <this address>", and then setting him to nomail might
be better.
