Hi,

it doesn't work that way. Take a look at the mailing list headers:

List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org>
List-Archive: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-questions
List-Help: <mailto:questions+help@freebsd.org>
List-Post: <mailto:questions@freebsd.org>
List-Subscribe: <mailto:questions+subscribe@freebsd.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:questions+unsubscribe@freebsd.org>

You need to use the appropriate address to unsubscribe by email. When
using mailman it was the same, the addresses to make changes to the
subscription were always different, to the one used to post to the list.

Usually MUAs provide features, such as unsubscribing from mailing lists.
I can't speak for Thunderbird, but a lot of FreeBSD and Linux MUAs do
and even the crappy iPad OS thingy does. IOW you usually even don't need
to view the headers.

Regards,
Ralf
