Why not have mails from mailing lists be required to have an "mailling list" flag. This would allow email clients to simply add a unsubscribe button next to the regular create/delete/sort... buttons. This way instead of clicking on an unsubscribe link somewhere in the body of a message we could simply click on the button whose location we'd get accustomed to.

Good email (and mail group systems) doen't use HTML or scripts.
Maybe one can have benign headers for mail-group mails, and have the client know how to respond to them in a standard way.
Close, at least the Yahoo groups I belong to, I can manage those from the web, and in my email client, dump messages from each group into a folder.
If you wanted to enforce that requirement, you would needto change the SMTP standard.
From the looks of current events in the technology world, we may soon see another solution. A technology called SPF is designed to allow mail servers to verify that messages came from who they claim to have come from.
Once it's widely supported, combatting spam will becom much easier.
