Not everybody wants to page through a screen and a half of headers for every message.

Common practice is for the listserv to add a footer to the messages pointing the user toward unsubscribing help etc. This list doesn't do that, so I'd be inclined to cut a little slack.

Now, if there is a footer and somebody still asks how to unsubscribe on the list (or even better, posts just the single word "unsubscribe"), then it's open season...
