Knowing that email has headers, and knowing that a mailing list might
add a header detaining how to unsubscribe are two different things.

In spite of not knowing this, I've happily managed to subscribe /
unsubscribe to countless mailing lists without anyone's help (and sort
into folders using sieve, based on mail headers). But, anyway - I didn't
know that one existed... I guess I should be banned from using email.
