They may hide it but it isn't inaccessible. Even the most efficient virus
spreader on the planet (which has a secondary function allowing people to
send e-mails) allows the user to view such information by hitting Ctrl-F3.
My MUA allows me to do the same with Ctrl-U.

It is a well-known fact that mailing list software inserts such headers to
make it possible for those who never read the instructions to manage their
list subscription(s). I can't agree more with what Sekiya-san said: "The
rash of incorrect unsubscribe requests is solely due to laziness."
