This is exactly a point. Every single ML has a links in the footer to either the ML archives or to the (un)-subscribe page. But apparently from now on PG lists will not have it and if you want to unsubscribe from the list you will need to open a header (why?) find the appropriate link inside a bunch of non-useful information and copy paste it into the mailer. Can anyone explain why? Why not do what other ML do - provide the links in the footer?
