Just an observation: There are AFAIK sevaral different ways to
interact with mailinglists, does your patch address that?
Also, why not go for something more generally useful? Make a command
that will take a message, feed it to a script, and use the output as
the template for a new message, jumping straight to the compose menu
regardless of the normal setup (or controlled by a seperate variable).
Then list-unsubscribe becomes a special case, likely a few lines of
sed/perl/shell or whatever, and a host of other interactions with
lists and the like becomes possible.
Just my little idea of what would be useful.

PS: I guess you could do it with mutt as-is, except that you would
need to hack around the usual problems with restoring variables,
and you would likely loose the editor to whatever script creates
the template (unless you are very clever).
