I didn’t think of using the “unsubscribe” filter, so I put the various newsletters in manually (why does Gmail’s filter interface suck so much?) but this lets me filter things like unofficial newsletters, or emails from PayPal saying “you sent an automated payment” (I want to ensure this gets put in my expenses but I don’t need to see it right away).

Upon reflection, I don’t want to filter using unsubscribe on the off-chance it catches something it shouldn’t and I don’t see it for days. Also, I’m in google group for my residence that posts very time-sensitive updates (eg. “Food is here EOM”) and its footer text has “unsubscribe” in it.

Still, I highly highly recommend this!
