That is actually an excellent question. Seems like there are no easy to
find instructions how to do so.
In the mail headers there is a line:
> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:~alpine/users+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org?subject=unsubscribe>
So it looks like you send an email to
~alpine/users+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org with the subject
"unsubscribe".
But it would be a good idea to have that more visible somehow.
Thanks!

Good Morning Natanael,
Thanks for the below. I would like to suggest that it gets added as a footer in any emails sent to the mailing list and then distributed to all subscribers.
Regards,
Jonathan Aquilina

A fantastic suggestion, aside from a little annoyance called DKIM.
Modifying the message body will trigger a DKIM signature validation
failure which will likely see list traffic bounce.

Hi,
just two Linux examples and an Apple example on how to unsubscribe from
a mailing list.
After selecting an email in Evolution click the menu
Message > Mailing List > Unsubscribe from list
After selecting an email in Claws click the menu
Messsage > Mailing-List > Unsubscribe > http...|mailto...
After selecting an email in the iPadOS' mailer, in the top left corner
of the email widget there is
"This message is from a mailing list.
Unsubscribe"
with a pencil or finger tap "Unsubscribe", then a widget pops up where
you need to tap "Unsubscribe" again.
If you are using another mailer, consider to read its manual. You might
or might not need to install a plugin/add-on.
While mailing-list workarounds for SPF, DKIM and DMARC more or less do
their job, a footer usually doesn't. Even with a footer a lot of
subscribers don't understand how to unsubscribe from a mailing list,
since in the same way they ignore the unsubscribe feature of the
mailers, they ignore a footers from mailing lists.
Regards,
Ralf
FWIW by accident I unsubscribed when taking a look at the mailer of
iPadOS.
When I tried to subscribe again the website showed
"Registration is currently closed."
I subscribed by using Evolution's menu
Message > Mailing List > Subscribe to List
However, if somebody tries to subscribe for the very first time this
isn't an option.
Btw.
