The HTML and text versions are separate parts of a multi-part MIME 
message. The unsubscribe info appears to be added to the first (text) 
part of the message, but not subsequent alternative parts. If you set 
the client to display as plain text, it probably displays the separate 
plain text part rather than removing the formatting codes from the HTML 
part. The solution is not as easy as simply adding the info to every 
part, as other parts may be images or other attachments. It should in 
theory be possible for the list software to work its way though 
multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative content types, working out 
which to add the info to, but that's not quite so simple...

I wonder if a message sent as HTML-only (without a plain text equivalent 
part) would have the unsubscribe info added...?

Mark.
