Apparently, List-Unsubscribe and friends are not something that just mailman and few other geeks use :) :

It can't surely be expected to magically fix bug 52915, but it can't harm.
Actually, this would be nice to have also in core enotifs.

| Resolved | Legoktm | T58315 Set List-Unsubscribe header for email notifications (and maybe List-Help, List-Subscribe etc.) |
In a sea of confusion about email relay, this seems the lowest hanging fruit (see dependencies of bug 52915); raising priority.

Add List-Unsubscribe header to emails
Ideas for a List-Help target? Maybe https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Watchlist and add a line for enotifwatchlist?
If UserMailer headers like b2a043f1ef63e770dff3d4f4204561e06b702dbc are also used by Echo's custom emails, maybe something more generic is needed.
They are, but we could probably figure out a way to let different types of emails set different headers.

Then let's link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Watchlist and think of overrides later. (I can fix the help page content when a patch approaches merge.)
