That's because the unsubscribe links are in the headers:

>List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe>

On lists that put the unsubscribe info in the footer (like those run by
Yahoo Groups), I often see threads with tons of quoted footers at the
bottom, from people too lazy or ignorant to trim them.

Lookout Express is pretty lame because it makes it so hard to see the
raw headers, but open the Properties for a list message and select the
Details tab to see them. You'll see the info for unsubscribing
yourself.

(Randall, does Eudora provide any nice feature for extracting the
unsubscribe header for easy access?)

You should always save the welcome message from any list you join.
Stick them all in a separate folder like "List Admin" so you don't lose
them when cleaning out a list folder.
