A better suggestion: consider upgrading to a mail client that
implements RFC2369. ;)
My mail client, pine, implements RFC2369. Whenever I view a message
that contains RFC2369 headers, pine adds a footer to the message that
says:
[ Note: This message contains email list management information ]
The footer counts as a selectable item; when I select it, it leads to
a menu that tells me all the actions I can take (unsubscribe, get
info, etc.), and will even walk me through those actions.
If your mail client doesn't support RFC2369, then I suggest either you
upgrade to one that does, or else bug the authors of your current mail
client to add support for RFC2369. (At the *minimum*, make it so that
RFC2369 headers are treated as important headers (the same as From,
Subject, To, etc.) and are always exposed.)
