No. But if we're already at it: A reminder in the footer to the mail headers might be even more useful. Because there are a few more than the mentioned two .. Really: I do not care much about what to put into the footer or not. But perhaps it is a good idea to put all user-relevant information in that very first welcome message from this list after subscribing to it: I just had a look at the one I got: it was very short, and maybe one could place a friendly reminder into that welcome message to the mail headers sent out with each new message from this list. And maybe even a friendly reminder to ask on this list *after* having put some reasonable effort to find a solution by oneself.
