AFAIR, all the mailing lists I've ever joined offer this setting, and
I generally use it (I read all my mailing lists by pointing a NNTP
client at news.gmane.org).  If a mailing list doesn't allow to to
disable delivery, then it's usually pretty trivial to set up a filter
to toss all messages received from that list into /dev/null.
