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*

To unsubscribe send email to users-unsubscribe@openoffice.__org

unsubscribe me</font></b></i></u><br>
--__0016e6de0425d5e44e04b01ddd0d--

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)

I'm presently accessing my Gmail account with FF's Nightly build (10a1),
which Gmail is kind enough to support ; thus I see messages in the
so-called «Standard View», which shows the «unsubscribe» rubric.
Forwarding from Gmail to Evolution is done via IMAP, and, as mentioned
above, the rubric is also seen there. When I check the original using
the appropriate button in Gmail, I get the following :
