    Fwiw, I block messages using a home-grown filter that uses regexps on assignable parts of the message. The patterns I find most useful for rejecting messages based on 'remove-me' links in the message body are:

    https*:[-a-z0-9/._?=%]*remove
    mailto:[-a-z0-9/._?=%@]*remove
    https*:[-a-z0-9/._?=%]*unsub

    (Matches are case-insensitive.)

    ...Bearing in mind that everything passes through both a white- and blacklist before getting turned over to those matches. I've had pretty good success and no known false positives so far. (He said, fingers crossed.)
