It works for some. The others need a smack on the head to point them in
the proper direction.

No need to add subscribe to it. But a single line informing of the way to
unsubscribe would not hurt much.
If you worry about overhead I suggest you reduce the PGP overhead as well.
As well at the other crap in your headers:
X-Disclaimer: Opinions expressed here are mine and should be yours.
X-No-To-DMCA: Real security is only possible when subject to open critical
review.
X-No-Brainer: Any compromise of the 2nd Amendment signals erosion of all
liberties.
X-Patriotism: http://www.9-11justice.org/ - Action for justice; not
appeasement.
X-To-Spammer: You spam us and we shut you down. It is that simple.
X-GPG-Notice: See http://www.treachery.net/~jdyson/ for current keys.
At present I feel it would be better if you concentrate on removing the
bugs out of the early bird software.
