It should be mentioned that for _any_ mailing list you are subscribed
to, taking a look at the full mail headers will usually tell you a way
to unsubscribe.  Taking this list as an example, you'll find a header

List-Unsubscribe: <http://vlists.pepperfish.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lua-l-lists.lua.org>,
	<mailto:lua-l-request@lists.lua.org?subject=unsubscribe>

which gives you a way to unsubscribe both via a web interface, as well
as via mail (usually clicking on that part of the header in your mail
reader will directly set up a mail which will unsubscribe you when
sent).

Some lists (not this) will also give unsubscription instructions at the
bottom of every mail sent out.  You must not imagine that those lists
are immune against the basic wash of "please unsubscribe me" messages,
though.
