Tail-gating on this so I mention it somewhere at least.

One problem that I have noticed, and I don't know how systematic it is, is that 
when a post uses HTML formatting, the list robot may not provide the trailer in 
a form that actually has it be visible to a recipient.

This has led, in the past, to users being dissed by other users for not paying 
attention to footers that, in fact, they don't see.  (It's one of those "works 
for me" disconnects.)  

One action I can take is to request that list moderators on projects I support 
provide the level of civility exhibited by Mark Thomas and simply honor 
unsubscribe requests and confirm it to the list.  I will do that too.

I am acting on the practice now.  What the robot/archiver does is beyond me.
