Web interfaces are much less error-prone.

Just put up a page where someone can enter their email address, and
click 'subscribe' or 'unsubscribe'. Provide proper feedback (ie, 'A
confirmation email has been sent to your@email.com. In order to complete
the unsubscribe process you will need to click the confirmation link in
that email.' or 'Sorry, your@email.com was not found in our list of
subscribers'.

Then just pop a link at the bottom of every list with a link to the
appropriate page for that list.

Of course, I still prefer a more global type account management where a
user can easily manage all of their subscriptions to all available lists
on one page, but this is admittedly a little more complicated due to the
requirement of a username/password to be able to login, although such a
system could still use non-authenticated list specific pages to handle
specific sub/unsub requests with the same email confirmation process.
