List-Unsubscribe headers with unique identifiers (such as those generated by our examples/unsubscribe.milter) should not end up in public archives. Add a new config knob to strip List-Unsubscribe headers if they have the `List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click' header. Unfortunately, this breaks DKIM signatures if the signature covers either of these List-Unsubscribe* headers. However, breaking DKIM is the lesser evil compared to any archive reader being able to stop archival by an independent archivist. As much as I would like this to be the default, it probably affects few users at the moment since very few mailing lists use unique identifiers in List-Unsubscribe (but that number has grown, recently).
