   Pine (later versions, maybe 4.3+) add a line to the end of the message 
that reads:
    [ Note: This message contains email list management information ]

   The last part is a link that can be followed to a page of links for 
each available option.  It seems that you can get help, subscribe, 
unsubscribe, and post a new message from there.  I've never used this 
feature, so I don't know if it actually works.

People seem to enjoy things more when they know a lot of other people
have been left out on the pleasure.
