Sorry its taken so long for me to reply to this; been falling
behind. :-)
The list sofware we use does have that capability. I had hoped that
it would be enough to have it in the headers, but maybe not? The major
problem that I have seen with lists that do this is that people don't
snip it out of posts they are responding to, so a thread will end
up with a whole mess of these unsubscribe notices in it. (annoying) :-)
If the list thinks it would be worthwhile, we could always give it
a shot...
