I've never seen an email client do this (which doesn't mean I claim it
doesn't happen). I believe doing so violates the relevant RFCs. The
best we can do is best effort. If some ignoramus is using a
non-standard mail reader, I feel no obligation to extend myself to
handle their situation. Especially as I would find putting the
unsubscribe notice at the top of every email unacceptably obnoxious.
No argument from me on that point. But you'll also note that the unsub
links are missing as I sent this, because kmail stripped them off and
substituted my sig. In other words, the reader does see them, the
composer doesn't. This may be an RFC violation but its a sensible way to
do it to me.
