Gently, gently.  I'm fairly comfortable with the idea that someone for whom
this list has been a one-and-only might be frustrated at not having an obvious
way to get off.  After all, that welcome message was a long time ago and might
not have gotten saved.  Upon requesting advice on how to get off, an additional
suggestion that notes on that subject be appended to each message for ready
reference would seem, at first glance, a reasonable thing.

However, that being said, I agree pretty much straight on down with the rest
of what Gavin had to say.  Adding the line would very likely be both overkill
*and* a waste of resources.  Well said, sir.
