An additional complication here is that, as far as I have been able to see by going through the 
headers of messages I have approved, there is no easy way to see that these headers have been 
moderated as there is on the OOo list.  Almost the only thing I see is that my email address, 
albeit a little garbled, is included with a reference to the envelope (I don't remember the exact 
wording, and don't have an example in front of me, so I can't be more specific.)   there is no easy 
filter to apply.  Presumably the result of us using a different list mailer from the OOo one.

From this point of view it would be better if the unsubscribed OP's address were added to the 
reply-to line, but I can't see that the moderator can do this, since (s)he merely clicks on a link. 
 Plus I, at least, have started sending a mail to the OP of messages I moderate, suggesting that 
they subscribe.  I assume other mods do this, too.
