[Bug 812227] [NEW] "Unsubscribe or edit options" accepts all E-mail addresses (including non-existing ones).

Public bug reported:

If you go to http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl , one can see
that one can enter any E-mail address in the "Unsubscribe or edit
options" text box + button, and it will take you to:
http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/options/perl . This includes E-mail
addresses that aren't subscribed to the mailing list or those that don't
exist at all such as "shlomi.fish at lambda-calculus.net.il" or
"belated at belated.belated". This is misleading.

If you have several E-mail addresses, then it will be much harder to
know which one you're subscribed to there and to unsubscribe or change
your options. So it's a usability problem.
