    Ya, I realize all of this, however I have clients who would like, are requesting,
and generally want this type of mechanism built in.  The main reason is because many of
the subscribers no longer remember what e-mail address they used to subscribe, and
consequently don't know what to use to UNsubscribe.  Having Mailman serialize its
messages will provide a simple way for them to unsubscribe.
