Many list place a follower or signature file following each message telling
1.) How to unsubscribe, 2) what the group website is, and 3) the name of the
group. Personally I have always found it nice to be able to unsuscribe. I
recall one list that used non standard commands that it took me 6 months to
figure out who they were and unsuscribe after I lost the group information
when my hard drive failed.
