So I'd say you have still a number of options. Let them do what I do:
Sometimes I'm euphorically subscribing to a mailinglist just to figure
out a few days later, that I'm not really interested in that topic. But
before I decide to unsubscribe I normally wait a bit in the hope it
could turn to interesting topics.
In these cases I configure mails coming from a certain list to be
delivered into a different folder. That could be configured on the
mailserver or just in the client. I'm doing that with procmail, I'm
doing that with Yahoo and back in the days I would do that with Outlook.
Most lists have something to identify them. A specific header like
"List-Id" or "Sender". With the uglier ones mostly always come from the
same mailserver and can be catched with the 'Received' header.
I'd say: educate your users to use filters (and then leave them with
their own mess).
