Howdy,

It seems like every week we have at least a couple of people emailing the
user list in vain with "Unsubscribe" in the subject, the body, or both.

I remember a while back that every email on the user list used to include a
footer with a quick link to unsubscribe. It was removed, I believe, because
someone thought it was unnecessary clutter.

I disagree.

Please add that footer back in. It's a tiny cost to pay for giving users
the convenience of easily unsubscribing; it makes it much less likely that
people will mistakenly spam everybody as they have been; and it follows
modern email list conventions. The link can just be a "mailto:..."; link
that does the same thing that you have to do today to unsubscribe.

I don't think we need to do the same thing on the dev list since the volume
of email is much lower, and since people on average here are probably more
familiar with the mechanics of subscribing to and unsubscribing from Apache
mailing lists.

Nick
