Which at a minimum would require personalization of all lists with its attendant performance hit, plus this URL would have to contain the equivalent of a password whether you call it that or not, thus exposing it to compromise by including it in every mail. I used to run some lists on Topica.com and they have an 'easy unsubscribe' link at the bottom of every mail, and I am amazed at the number of people who don't edit this out of mail they forward (and the number who still don't know how to get off a list). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
