The default Mailman info page for the list could stand
some improvements.
I've noticed it over and over and finally decided to
contribute to a
solution instead of griping about the problem. ;-)

I recommend these two changes:

 1. Move the administrative "$listname Subscribers"
section to the bottom
    of the page. Admins will know where to look and
subscribers should not
    have to read through admin info to get to the
section that concerns
    them (changing subscription options).

 2. Add a standard colored section header titled
"Change Options or
    Unsubscribe". The original format for this section
did not clearly
    indicate that this is the section for
unsubscribing. Users have to
    read the fine print. Reading the fine print is fine
for detailed
    instructions, but the users should have some idea
that the unsub
    instructions are there just by looking at the
section header.
