It looks like you didn't strip out quite all of the 'mailto:' since  
you should have been mailing tlug-request instead of mtlug-request.

In that case, you may want to use the web interface instead.  If you  
visit
  http://www.tlug.jp/mailman/options/tlug/dave%40tokyocomedy.com
you can change your email address directly instead of unsubscribing/ 
subscribing.  (Handy if you want to preserve any other attributes of  
your subscription.)
