Unsubscribing from GitHub notifications from mutt

[Sébastien Hinderer]

Dear all,

I would like to be able to unscribe from GitHub threads directly from
within mutt (the index, say).

I noticed that the emails sent by GitHubcontain this Header:

List-Unsubscribe:
	<mailto:unsub+TOKEN at reply.github.com>,
	<https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe/TOKEN>

So there seem to be two steps to be able to unsubscribe form a GitHub
thread from within mutt: (1) extracting the  URL from the message, which
should not be too hard, and (2) querying this URL. I thought (2) is going
to be hard because I expected it to require an interpreter of the URL
that can run javascript but I just tried to pass such an URL to wget and
it seems it has been enough to get me unsubscribed.

Has anybody already set-up such a feature? Would be interested in the
details on (1) then.

Many thanks in advance for any comment on any aspect of the question
that comes to anybody's mind, divagations welcome.

Seb.
