Just who's fault would that be?
If it's the first line, might it be more prominent? I wrote the previous email from my iPhone and I found lines to wrap almost always, so a shorter line would be needed. I also noticed that I very rarely scroll to the bottom of my email on an iPhone and usually miss out on the oh-so-familiar unsubscribe directions.
Case in point.
As a matter of fact, gmail grabs whatever is hidden in the headers and presents an unsubscribe button when someone clicks "show details" on any message sent by this list. So as several others have said on this thread which is now turning into a giant waste of time and resources, the best solution is to probably respond off-list to those who ask to be unsubscribed and ignore the offending posts. If we can improve the hit percentage by putting unsubscribe directions at the top, then all the better.
It all depends on how far you want to go to coddle the clueless. -- Bob Holtzman Key ID: 8D549279 "If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
