The bigest problem with one-click unsubscribe links is that people don't remove them from the quoted text in their list replies, and even if code is added to the list post processing (e.g., a custom handler) to remove them, people still forward list posts off list with their unsub link intact and then wonder why they got removed from the list when a recipient of the forward maliciously, out of curiosity or thinking it's their link, clicks it. It's fairly simple to create a one-click unsub link in msg_footer for any list with personalize set to Yes or Full Personalization, but I won't post it here because of the above and because it contains the user's list password in the clear. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
