I don't own an iPhone, but I remember reading that that's the way it is.

You can complain to Apple. If you are lucky, you might get a rude  
response from Steve Jobs himself.

Or you could look for another mail client that honours subscriptions.  
But I'm not sure if the App Store allows other mail clients that  
"compete" with the built-in one.
