We used to get "unsuscrive" and "unsribe" messages, so I guess this is an

Actually, they get it from the tremendous amount of junk coming to
cypherpunks which you clever people (with access to your mail servers)
don't even get to hear about - many of these "erstwhile personal messages"
make a keen distinction between themselves and deplorable,
there-ought-to-be-a-law spam by offering the reader the opportunity to
"remove himself from the mailing list" (as if one could modify a CD through
the net so easily) by simply hitting "reply", and writing "remove" in
subject line/body of message.
