How about a message that gets posted to the ale list on a regular basis
(monthly, say) that contains aministrivia like (un)subscribe
instructions, which lists are available, *appropriate ettiquette*, FAQs,
etc.

I don't see the point of a separate unemployment list if it's just going
to get posted to the ale list anyway.  A monthly (or even more frequent)
reminder of other lists will help some with promoting them.  For that
matter, a monthly post to the ale list could even summarize what's on
the unemployement list.  Just an idea.
