I belong to another list that tags the first content line with something
resembling:

TO UNSUBSCRIBE, SEND "UNSUBSCRIBE TOPIC-L YOUREMAIL @
 ADDR" TO
LISTMGR @
 LIST .
 FOO

Sure, it adds a line to every message, but it reduces the frustration of
those wishing to exit the list, and those annoying "remove me too"
messages don't exist. Is there a way to add the message to this list,
and do you think it would help?
