Can we not have the list unsubscribe link in the footer, too? It's a legal 
requirement in the UK to have an easy to use mechanism to unsubscribe to 
marketing  emails. The definition of marketing would definitely extend to 
promotion of free open source software. Whether it also extends to a 
support list like this might be debatable, but surely the developers of 
software developed mainly in response to the spamming industry ought to be 
following best practice.

As long as most MTAs don't expose the List-Unsubscribe: header (none do by 
default, as far as I'm aware), it can't be described as "easy to use". Some 
MTAs even make it really hard to find the full message headers.
