I can see that there is some merit to the idea for newsletter type mailing lists. I think there's still the possibility of abuse because such messages tend to be forwarded and those forwards will have the 1- click unsub link. The only way I see of limiting that would be to require a log-in to confirm the unsub, but then I guess you're in no better shape. I really wish more mail readers would support the RFC 2369 headers directly. I think that would go a long way to making unsub as easy as possible. Having said all that, this is clearly not a feature for Mailman 2.1. If some of the details can be worked out, it might be an option for Mailman 3 where I think 'list styles' will help make configuration of newsletter vs. discussion mailing lists much simpler. Adrian, are you interested in creating the Bazaar branches as I outlined previously?
