Not quite. The default footer for this list for example is only

but other information such as an unsubscribe mailto: can easily be
added.

Note that unless one turns off include_rfc2369_headers, there is a
List-Unsubscribe: header in every message. This is intended to allow
an MUA to provide an "unsubscribe" function/button, although many if
not most MUAs do not provide such a function and do not show the
header either.[1]

Also note that the command line command

bin/remove_members --fromall [email protected]

wull remove [email protected] from all lists on the server.

[1] Ironically, hotmail's web client does provide a "You're subscribed
to this mailing list. Unsubscribe" link when displaying a list
message, but the feature is broken because the header looks like

>List-Unsubscribe: <http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users>,
>       <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>

Which is a perfectly valid, RFC 2369 compliant header, but Windows live
mail interprets it as a single URL and tries to go to

http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users>,<mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe

I have reported this to Microsoft, but I haven't had the patience to
continue beating on it until someone actually understands the problem.
