I can find nothing in the list help suggesting that is even possible.

In any case, to get help on using the list, view the headers on any 
message from the list and follow the URL given in the List-Help header. 
  (Better email programs may extract this link for you.)

In this case, I suggest you then follow the "subscription 
administration" link, and finally look in the section headed "Asking for 
Help".

(Or to short cut: http://www.w3.org/Mail/Request#help).

I suspect what you really need to do is unsubscribe, and then read the 
list from the archives.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
