Marc, I can't help asking this: In the particular case you cite above, how 
do you propose to get the autoresponder to not respond to the unsubscribe 
notice? ;-)

For my part, I've found that it takes much less energy and distraction to 
just unsubscribe people who do things like this and let them figure it out 
on their own. When they do it enough times that I recognize their email 
address, I put their address in the block list. It might be more satisfying 
to take a poke at some people who exhibit more than the normal idiocy, but 
in the long run, I haven't found it to be worthwhile. (Besides, I'm hoping 
that if I show a little charity, others will cut me some slack when *I* do 
dumb things. :) )

I would just as soon see a feature that would automatically unsubscribe (or 
at least disable) any address that sent mail from an autoresponder.
