Unsubscribing is something the user does exactly once. I don't think 
this justifies putting the information how to unsubscribe in the header 
right in the user's face. And, as you correctly say, on many mailing 
lists this information is already included in the footer (which is the 
correct place for such rarely needed information).

I still think it should be customizable since I am definitely not 
interested in this information. Alternatively, try to achieve your goal 
with a few unintrusive icons instead of with one or two lines of text.
