Right.  I've found it useful when some yahoo sends a message to 'webmaster', 
asking to be unsubscribed from an *unspecificed* E-Mail list.  Either they are 
assuming that there is only one list or something. (Or they are using a 
braindead E-Mail client/service when they replied to their monthly reminder 
message and did not quote the monthly reminder message.)
