How does mail app work when at top of email there is question asking if you want to be unsubscribed from subscription

"Unsubscribe? ”this message is from a mailing list”

And mail will try to unsubscribe your email.

Unsubscribe from mailing lists in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


In general, mailing list blasts contain an unsubscribe link. Mail parses the emails, identifies that link, visits the page and if needed autofills your email address in the form and submits it, all in the background.
