Over time especially now, we will see many more "users" versus
"developers". Most "users" will never know how (nor should they have to)
read email headers.
They should know how to participate in mailing lists. That's
unrelated to whether you're a developer or a user.
The same webpage where you subscribe to a mailing list,
you can also unsubscribe. This is not some weird technical
voodoo, just that some people prefer to waste a thousand
other peoples time than spend a minute or two of their own.
Fortunately, they're a tiny minority.
I believe that if you could get an honest response, you'd find a lot of
these folks are just plain lazy. They don't want to recall how to
unsubscribe and figure sending mail to the list will get the required
result.
