there's a problem with those, as spammers use these footers as a
means of verifying that your email address exists and is having mail
read. Once you click on the "unsubscribe" link you've effectively said
"yes, I'm here, and I've not blocked your spam, send me MOAR!"
I thought they did that anyhow with the transparent 1x1 pixel image
contained within the email?
That's another verification technique, certainly. Which is why all
decent e-mail clients block loading images by default.
