I think it might help this problem somewhat, although not alieviate it
entirely of course, for AOL's spam report button to look at the message
and if it has a List-Unsubscribe header, to try mailing that first.
They'd have to keep a blacklist of spammers who abused that header, or
automatically generate such a list from those spams that someone reported
and then received again with the same List-Unsubscribe header, but it
might be pretty effective.
If the users are going to use the spam button as an unsubscribe button,
why not make it exactly that?
