ufrs, I'm researching few extensions to an open source email client. One of the things I'm exploring is standardizing the unsubscribe information which is normally buried in the footer using a new microformat for annotating unsubscribe information.
Benefits of the microformat: 1. Standardizing/semanticizing of unsubscribe information will allow automation for handling unsubscribes 2. Further to (1), email clients may extract the unsubscribe and present it in a different view altogether 3. Further to (1), custom unsubscribe workflows can be 'embedded' as the format matures Comparables: 1. There is an optional email header called 'List-unsubscribe' which is already in production use by GMail and other vendors Wanted to get your feedback before putting up an exploratory-discussions page. If you are looking to dig deeper, I have written it up here at http://www.khaitan.org/blog/unsubscribe-microformat/ Thx, Indus Khaitan _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list microformats-new@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
