As Chris alluded to if you check the headers of the "unsubscribe"  
message you'll see the message was a simple forgery from me:

X-Auth-Received: from d-140-142-21-85.dhcp4.washington.edu
         (D-140-142-21-85.dhcp4.washington.edu [140.142.21.85])
         (authenticated authid=rlotz)

Many mail clients let you arbitrarily set your from address.  It  
proves the point that any mail you get in your inbox is not  
guaranteed to be as it seems.   Using PGP or other key signing  
solutions are one of the few ways to have some form assurance of  
where the mail actually came from.

Also, humor to one person may be an insult to another.  So use better  
judgement than me and don't forge e-mail unless you know the person  
will view it as a joke.
