It is preserved.

But they are easily fooled. We can't match every mail that contains the
word unsubscribe (or subscribe) *anywhere*. There are restrictions. And
they have a hard time dealing with people posting in
pure-html-mail-with-no-plaintext-part and things like that.

The filters have trapped around 30 emails so far that didn't make it to the
list because of those.
