It does do that now. People still click on that Yes button.
Well if someone forwards mail containing their personal unsubscribe link to someone else, they are asking for it. Blindly forwarding such content is stupid.
You may want to give your subscribers the option of having a one-click unsubscribe link in every message (with a properly worded warning that forwarding such a link is risky) versus a monthly mailing list reminder which contains a link to subscription management but no information worthy to be forwarded. I don't know whether that's posssible with common mailing list systems though.
