Perhaps Dale's messages never made it into your Inbox, or even Spam folder.  
Hotmail's email <aheam!> security features have form in discriminating against 
messages with perfectly innocuous content, while delivering corporate spam en 
masse.

Neither Dale nor I can unsubscribe you from this mailing list, but *you* can 
unsubscribe yourself, if you get your act together on this task.  Here's some 
options from the easiest to the most involved.

1. Retrace your steps when you initially subscribed to receive messages to 
this list. Hint:  By the mere power of Google, or Bing, you will probably 
arrive at the following page.  You can then read and execute the instructions 
described under the section titled "Unsubscribing":

https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/mailing-lists/instructions.html

2. Access the headers of any message you receive from this mailing list as per 
the instructions provided here:

http://www.emailtrackerpro.com/support/headertutorials/hotmail.html

https://www.howtogeek.com/442317/how-to-read-message-headers-in-outlook/

Then follow Dale's suggestions above.  Hint:  the address you need to send an 
empty email to is listed next to 'List-Unsubscribe:".

3. Send an email to <listname+moderators@lists.gentoo.org> asking them to 
unsubscribe you - they have magic powers the rest of us, mere participants to 
this list, do not.  Hint:  replace 'listname' above with the name of this 
mailing list.


Until you action any of the above, I would discourage you from continuing to 
send HTML messages to this list asking other subscribers to unsubscribe you.  
We cannot do it.  What we can do and will do soon if you carry on, is to 
blacklist your email address as unwanted spam.  Eventually this could 
propagate in the interwebs via our ISPs and you'll find your hotmail address 
is blacklisted by an ever increasing number of users.

HTH.
