This behavior has been *standard* for decades.  A good mail client even
provides an option - I view a message from the Cyrus list in Evolution
and Message -> Maillist -> Unsubscribe is right there as an option.

You are using Exchange [ + Outlook? ];  so I'm pretty sure that option
is there on your screen somewhere.

You mail client should recognize the presence of this header and provide
an option.   And looking at message headers is hardly a 'profession'
level action.
