[Mailman-Developers] Feature Request: unsubscribe from list mail

I subscribe to a lot of lists and 
***all too often***
see messages such as:

unsubscribe 
or 
please unsubscribe me from this list.
or
how do I unsubscribe

NEAT FEATURE REQUEST

Before messages of this type are sent
to the list of hundreds of others,  How about
a routine that scans ONLY the 
first line of the body looking for
the word unsubscribe  (Upper & Lower case)

This message would NOT be posted but quoted
back to the sender with the standard
"Reply to this message to confirm
your canceled subscription"

I struggle my self when unsubscribing because
I have misplaced, deleted or archived the
first list "save this message" especially on long running
lists.
