Only if it's there in the first place. Checking the raw source of the 
OP's message, I see two message parts - plain (with the unsub msg) and 
html (without):

=+=+=+=+

--0016e6de0425d5e44e04b01ddd0d
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

*please unsubscribe me*

To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
For additional commands send email to [email protected]
with Subject: help

--0016e6de0425d5e44e04b01ddd0d
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

<u><i><b><font style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);" size="6">please 
unsubscribe me</font></b></i></u><br>

--0016e6de0425d5e44e04b01ddd0d--


=+=+=+=+

So, at least in this instance, it's not a function of the mail client - 
the text simply hasn't been added to the html message part by the OOo 
mail list gubbins. I wonder if gmail isn't as straightforward as a 
simple imap server.

Same comment applies to your own email, btw: viewing as html makes the 
'unsub' rubric go away.


(For completeness, I'm using sendmail as MTA, dovecot as my IMAP server, 
and Thunderbird as MUA)
