I've been on several different lists, on and off, so I am not a newbie
here. And even then, unless I remembered, I probably wouldn't think
of looking at the normally hidden headers.
Now when there is a footer added that says to unsubscribe, send a
message to a specified address, it can be frustrating. But I guess it
works, a list manager will probably remove the poster.

Who cares about the headers.... every single message from the list has a footer appended to it with the information about the list. Click on the link and it tells you how to unsubscribe. Not to mention that, but once a month I get an email from the mailing list telling me about my subscription and how to log in and make changes to my subscription.
