Generally I agree, but if you use the term "spam" loosely, as in
legitimate lists you got signed up for by signing up for a service or
making a purchase, of course -- these are not the emails targetted by
the spam filters, although if you are active in sign-ups and such, say
free offers, then you will find you get a LOT of this crap.
The point I'm trying to get to, is that if the email does come from a
legit service, the subscribe should work, and is a good idea if you want
to get less of "that crap"  ( =  Obvious to most of us, I'm sure, but
needs to be clarified for the list's archive and other innocent
assumption-sufferers...
