Looking back through my email I noticed this and I saw a potential
security issue, if it only needs my profile url could anyone who knew
that sign my up to follow them when they are not logged in.  For
instance make a bot that would subscribe a lot of users to them for
spamming purposes?  On a different note I am not sure I am sending all
of the right headers in my emails or if I am sending to many, is it
correct to be sending both a reply-to header and a followup-to header?
The followup-to header seems to be a recent addition to my client and so
I don't know what the accepted standard is for using it.
