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.
