Here is a copy of Douglas Badenoch's instructions:
If you want to be removed from this list, the ways to do it are:
1) Go to www.jiscmail.ac.uk, log in and go to evidence-based-health on
your "Subscribed lists". From here you can sign off by clicking the
Leave button.
Obviously, you need a login to do this. This has the advantage that you
can manage subscriptions to multiple lists from the one place.
2) If that doesn't work, please email
[log in to unmask], rather than the list itself,
so that we keep the admin traffic off the list.
Many thanks
Douglas Badenoch
