Some list owners already do.
For example, a prominent one-click unsubscribe link that isn't
hidden in the message headers.
It's not hidden in the message headers; the problem is that it's not
accessible in some MUAs. As a comparison, the "From:" or the
"Subject:" are part of the message headers. Most MUAs allow you to
access that information.
It's a legal requirement in the UK that unsolicited marketing
messages (which here include messages promoting the aims of
non-profit organisations, perhaps including ASRG) should include a
simple method of unsubscribing. I'd argue that this list doesn't,
even though an address is provided in the footer, it isn't described
as an unsubscription address.
This message has a List-Unsubscribe header. The use of that header
is documented. I'd say that this list does provide a means to
unsubscribe. I agree that the footer cannot be described as an
unsubscription address.
