Some of the "mailing lists" (groups, forums, whatever) that I get have 
similar links at the bottom of each message.   But the link is supplied 
for "managing your account", and only works if you're already a member 
and supply your associated password to that site. Since my browser 
remembers such passwords and I'm invisibly logged in, it's often hard to 
tell if non-members can use the same link I use or need some other 
instructions to join.

I couldn't remember if this list behaves that way or not.

This seems like another example of silo-ization in the mailing 
functionality of the Internet, in that the techniques for "mailing 
lists" have never been standardized.   Or if they have, it hasn't been 
followed uniformly.
