Nigel, the problem in most cases is the placement of the unsubscribe
links. Many email agents clip off anything after the "newline dash dash
space" signature delimiter, so they never, ever see the unsubscribe
instructions.
I've never seen an email client do this (which doesn't mean I claim it
doesn't happen). I believe doing so violates the relevant RFCs. The
best we can do is best effort. If some ignoramus is using a
non-standard mail reader, I feel no obligation to extend myself to
handle their situation. Especially as I would find putting the
unsubscribe notice at the top of every email unacceptably obnoxious.
I understand Yahoo web mail does this as a primary offender.
