OK, so they are stupid. Now, let's help them out so they don't have to
waste bandwidth and everybody's time. Lets send them several messages each
day with something in the body that all mail clients can read that tells
them how to unsubscribe. After all, they are stupid, give them something
they can't miss. Don't burry it in the header, don't require them to keep
something, don't require them to remember a web site, just attach the
information to the end of each message; then those stupid people will feel
real stupid if they miss it.
