      Sure.  Below is the "teach to fish" version.  Backing up files b4 you 
change them is always a good plan.

      Search for files with the text you want to change:

# grep -rl "Unsubscribe or edit options" <prefix>/local/mailman/Mailman/
<prefix>/local/mailman/Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py
<prefix>/local/mailman/Mailman/HTMLFormatter.pyc

      You want the py, as Python creates the pyc from the py file.

open HTMLFormatter.py with the editor of your choice
search for "Unsubscribe or edit options" in the file
change the text
save

restart Mailman with:
# <prefix>/bin/mailmanctl restart
