That seems to me a very good idea. But I would also in the meantime adjust the footer message just slightly, like this: DO NOT UNSUBSCRIBE HERE. Email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which seems to me more memorable/noticeable. And similarly on the welcome email, a first sentence in caps, " When you want to UNSUBSCRIBE, DO NOT..." Still, even that would probably have little effect. The script is a better idea. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
