Outlook does indeed include the headers, they just don't make them obvious
to you. If you right click on the message in your list, you should be able
to choose "Properties" and then choose the "Details" tab. That should give
you the full message source, and you can find out what email account your
mail was delivered to.
Perhaps there is a capitalization issue? I have unsubscribed from this list
before (when I was having problems with my mail server), and had no problems
at all.
Good luck,
