Invalidating the Ubuntu task, moving to Launchpad Bugs. This isn't an Ubuntu bug :).

It's worth noting that Launchpad *does* allow people to send an email to unsubscribe, but it requires
a) That it be all alone on a line, and preceeded by a space, like
"""
 unsubscribe
"""
and
b) A GPG signed email.

Given that it's fairly easy to spoof an email address, it's probably not a good idea to allow unsigned emails to unsubscribe.

Perhaps a way to achieve this goal would be to have a link to the "unsubscribe" page in the footer of the email notifications.
