I once again refer people to RFC 2369
<http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2369.html> about how to embed email list
management information into messages. Secondly, I would also tolerate the
"monthly reminders" that some list managers send out (e.g., GNU, Great
Bridge). At the very least, though, the tips should be preceded by a
'<dash><dash><space><newline>' sequence so that some mail readers can
strip them off in replies.

I filter out the tips anyway, so I really don't care a lot.
