No, yes :) "Unsubsribe" footer works. Many people read whole messages,
but they don't know what "header" is. Most win#@%^$ users. They aren't
guilty, software hides all headers. When I added such footer to my mailing
lists, i've got a lot less "unsubscribe" screams.
OTOH, subscribing to _this_ list without knowing about headers is
kinda stupid tho...
