My favorite was an unsubscribe link that consisted of

        http:// /optout.php?mail=<my email address>

And yes, that was a space in there instead of a host/domain name.

It also had a big long message about how easy it was to "oppt out," that they weren't "just saying that so that we can put on the facade that we're legitimate advertsers, whilst laughing away, blatantly ignoring remvve requests," and insisted that "it really works" -- and then that obviously broken link.

I posted the whole disclaimer online, if anyone wants a cheap laugh:
