Now when there is a footer added that says to unsubscribe, send a message to a specified address, it can be frustrating.

Who cares about the headers.... every single message from the list has a footer appended to it with the information about the list. Click on the link and it tells you how to unsubscribe. Not to mention that, but once a month I get an email from the mailing list telling me about my subscription and how to log in and make changes to my subscription.
Look again, though. The footer has links, but it doesn't say 'Unsubscribe or change options'. I agree that the info is there on the welcome letter, but how many people save it?
This is not just a centos problem - all lists seem to suffer from it. I think just adding that phrase into the footer would help - though again it seems human nature to skip over footers, particularly as we are used to seeing sigs that have no interest to us.
