It is clear that Evan is sending e-mail in HTML. That is almost enough on it's own to trigger the spam filter and most e-mails manage to trigger a couple more rules to push the score over the threshold. I thought that spam filtering on unsubscribe addresses had been disabled. I'll check that and if it hasn't see what can be done in that direction. I note that there has been zero communication from Evan to the list owner. I'll also note that the time it takes one of the list owners to unsubscribe someone who complains to the list tends to be directly proportional to the rudeness of the message. Given the tone of Evan's message I don't feel any great urge to help him any time soon.
