Unsubscribing by clicking a link in an e-mail assumes the person receives 
HTML mail. Some force text only in which case the link won't work.

Others *send* text only so perhaps the Unsubscribe instruction doesn't get 
included (???) but, even if it does, it won't be clickable.

There have even been people who make great contributions to this list who 
complain about HTML e-mail.
