One problem with that theory. If you view the HTML message as plain
text, the unsub rubric IS there, so it has obviously been added. Why it
doesn't show with HTML rendering I'll leave to more learned people to
puzzle out.

The HTML and text versions are separate parts of a multi-part MIME message. The unsubscribe info appears to be added to the first (text) part of the message, but not subsequent alternative parts. If you set the client to display as plain text, it probably displays the separate plain text part rather than removing the formatting codes from the HTML part. The solution is not as easy as simply adding the info to every part, as other parts may be images or other attachments. It should in theory be possible for the list software to work its way though multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative content types, working out which to add the info to, but that's not quite so simple...

I wonder if a message sent as HTML-only (without a plain text equivalent part) would have the unsubscribe info added...?

Mark.
