Putting a URL in a List-Unsubscribe header is an entirely reasonable thing to do, and lots of ESPs do it. Mail programs as creaky as alpine and as zoomy as gmail recognize them and do reasonable things with them that they can't do with URLs embedded in the message body. Treating them as a spam sign is absurd unless you're stuck in the 1990s and consider everything from an ESP to be spam no matter what it is.
