conceals it from you has nothing to do with it.

Few consumer mail clients (Gmail, Yahoo, Thunderbird, OE, Outlook, Lotus/Domino, etc) show the user headers by default. This means they are clearly NOT in plain sight.

No, it means that the clients are HIDING something that is in plain sight. It is the client's issue, not the email's issue nor the mailing list's issue.

No. this is a bad idea. If you can't figure out how to look at mail
headers, then you have no business on this list.

The point is, you shouldn't HAVE to look at the mail headers.

Says you?

Putting the unsubscribe info in the footer is a good idea no mater what

No it's not. It adds kruft to the end of the message, destroys the integrity of signed posts, and makes every message unnecessarily longer by duplicating information. It is a crutch for the ignorant and uninformed and lazy.
