Added unsubscribe instructions to list:member:generic:footer.txt

username-removed-681857 requested to merge fffaaa/mailman:master into master

After witnessing yet another "please unsubscribe me from this list" message sent to a Mailmain mailing list, I decided to propose this change to the generic footer.

I believe this is a sane default, as:

  • it allows even the least technically-versed (or most absent-minded) user to immediately reognize how unsubscribe
  • it doesn't point to web interface (which some ML don't have)
  • the footer is no bigger than before the commit (I shifted $listname on the line above)
  • if Listmaster isn't happy, they are free to change it to something else

This should avoid frustration to a bunch of users who are not used to mailing lists.
