Description

[Ian Holsman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/85.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/85.5
Build Identifier: new feature

most mailing list managers add a couple of extra mail header lines
like X-List
or List-Id
it would be nice to have a button so you could use the unsubscribe information provided to you in 
the email so you could click on it, and it would either go to the url or fill in the mailto details on 
how to unsubscribe.
you could even use the x-list/list-id field as a seperate column to display/sort on (as usually the 
to address might not be the list's email)

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Mailing List Header Extension

The mailing list header extension does this. This implements RFC 2369.

This is basically a dup of bug 29041 -- I'd mark it as such, but don't have rights.

The fact that this bug even exists is rather odd.  I've always thought Mozilla prided itself on standards (at least on the web browser side anyway).
