Like most lists nowadays, it gives the instructions in each message header:

List-Unsubscribe: <https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/options/r-help>,
	<mailto:r-help-request at r-project.org?subject=unsubscribe>

By following the links in the footer!

Specifically, bottom of page at

Unfortunately, "user-friendly" mailers nowadays tends to hide such 
information from users. E.g. if I set headers to All in Thunderbird I 
get a window full of headers larger than the screen and no scrolling 
capacity. So it ends with X-Mailman something and the List-Unsubscribe: 
stuff is nowhere to be seen.

right, but there are (at least) three things you can do in thunderbird
when all headers are on:

- open a print preview -- there you have a scrollable content with all
headers;
- save the message and open it in a regular text editor;
- install a suitable plugin (header scroll [1] works fine for me)

the last one turns thunderbird a bit more user friendly.

The "View message source" would be a more direct way of viewing the full
email, not just the bits TBird shows you in the preview pane. I forget
how it is named exactly and under which menu it is found as it has been
quite a while since I used TBird.

That's true, but because it takes up so much space, nobody would leave
it like that for long.  Clicking on the '-' next to "Subject"
collapses headers to a single line and the rest of the message is
scrollable.

Even Outlook in HTML mode still doesn't hide the bottom, so I fail to
see why it becomes invisible.  Perhaps such enquirers should be
directed to the footer, not the header.

That's what I use.  It's Ctrl-U for the shortcut, "View | Message 
source" by menu.
