Even easier is to have separate email addresses for list signup, removal, etc. You can make the different addresses aliases and direct everything to the same mailbox. When you retrieve them you don't need to read the message body itself. All your info is in the headers (to: and from:). If you use something like CFPOP there's nothing to parse. It's a bit more foolproof, as well, for the inevitable user that can't spell 'remove'.
