I feel that a lot of the improperly addressed
unsubscribe messages are not from people
who entered the wrong address.

They merely clicked on "reply" in a
message that they had received from
the list.

Perhaps a specific warning that this
won't work would be appropriate, along
with the other messages that have
been suggested.
