That's how I read it! If they email me I am entitled to email them back. If it bounces, they are illegal. The law doesn't require me to use a certain email program, and whatever I don't see in the plain text mime part is not there. I'd be really really dumb to click on any links in any email shite that comes in!!! I don't even read html emails, certainly not external links that only trigger the tracking cr@p and waste my time and bandwidth. > to unsubscribe, maybe some companies are just useless...

They take you off their shitelist, as is legally required. But they don't consider it illegal to put you on again every year, I mean you could have changed your mind, right, and we can't allow you to miss out can we now, so they put you back on. If you don't like it, well there's always the legally required unsubscribe clicky from [email protected]... and it legally works. For a while anyway... Come on, they do that on purpose. Changing email address looks still the easiest and safest to me.
