    At least there's politeness from the OP, unlike Another Thread near
    here.

    But I've just noticed something. If I display that email as html
    there is no 'how to unsubscribe' message visible. If viewed as plain
    text, it does appear. This with Thunderbird. I wonder if this might
    be causing some people to miss the message.

Interesting, Mike ! I always check my Gmail account directly via my
browser, instead of using an email client, but when, after reading your
message, I used Evolution on 64-bit Ubuntu Natty to access Gmail, I
still see the information on how to unsubscribe. Obviously it is
preserved in at least some email clients....

Only if it's there in the first place. Checking the raw source of the OP's message, I see two message parts - plain (with the unsub msg) and html (without):

=+=+=+=+

--0016e6de0425d5e44e04b01ddd0d
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

*please unsubscribe me*

=+=+=+=+

So, at least in this instance, it's not a function of the mail client - the text simply hasn't been added to the html message part by the OOo mail list gubbins. I wonder if gmail isn't as straightforward as a simple imap server.

Same comment applies to your own email, btw: viewing as html makes the 'unsub' rubric go away.


(For completeness, I'm using sendmail as MTA, dovecot as my IMAP server, and Thunderbird as MUA)
