Really? All of the perl.org lists do this, AFAICT, as well as all of the
yahoogroups lists. Mailman also puts this in the headers. It's been
standard in mailing list software for a while.
Oh, well. It's up to the moderators to do whatever with the
subscribe/unsubscribe instructions, beyond sending the instructions out
with every new subscription or sending a weekly FAQ. 'Nuff said.
