About once a year I send out a notice saying "here's how to do it". That's usually because the number of people sending "remove" requests to the list increases to the point of noticing it. I really don't see the point in adding all that extra text to *every* post, just to stop a coupla of people from sending "remove me please" now and then.
An automated message every 3-6 months might be ok; mailman (or whatever it is) does that, but the (default?) monthly notices drive me batty.
