Then it should not be described as such.
How does "To unsubscribe: http://foo.bar/" imply look for archives here?

Thanks for the pointer.  I usually don't waste screen space looking at 
the header, although I will earmark it as a potential source of useful 
info.  If I were looking for the archives, I would just google for it.

So the unsubscribe sig reduces list noise by providing an unsubscribe 
pointer for newbies.

Another source of list noise is from newbies that ask "where are the 
archives" and those who ask common questions that were asked/answered 
many times before.  Perhaps an archive sig pointer that is not buried in 
a header would help reduce this noise.

Thanks,
