Some mailers default to not displaying headers. On others (e.g., Outlook Express), you can't even change this - you have to go hunting to find the headers (using the 'properties' tab), and of course in either case you have to have some idea that looking for the headers will help. Of course, the original poster seems to have used Pine - I don't recall what the situation is there.
I guess (on the other hand) that anyone who has ever spent time on an email list should know how annoying it is to get 'unsubscribe' messages in the list, and would do well instead to post a polite 'how do I unsubscribe' message at the outset, *before* the actual 'unsubscribe' message.
