 Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:25 pm Post subject: Embedding recipient address in unsubscribe link |
 |
|
From the very useful piece on email newsletters, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this:
| Quote: | | We suggest you embed a link in every message that includes the e-mail address of the recipient so that one click removes it from your list.t |
I would, I assume, need to embed the address in the email and set up the unsubscribe funcion to take it.
Thanks,
Robert |

| What format are you using, plain text, styled text or HTML? |

In plaint text you have to write a flat sentence like:
| Code: |
To get unsubscribed send an empty e-mail to: <address_here>
|
In HTML you can embed the address into the URL with mailto as explained in the FAQ: Recipients subscribe and unsubscribe by e-mail |

Thanks, but that seems to be for unsubscribing by sending an email. I wasn't clear, but I meant a link to a web page. Can the sender's email address be included in the link so that when they go to the web page, it automatically records their email address? Maybe a reply-to like you have is a better way to handle it.

Okay, I tested it as a mailto and like it. One more question though... Is there a way to make it automatically generate an email back to the person acknowledging that their unscubscribe request was received?
Thanks,
Robert |

Sorry, never mind. I set it up as an email filter. So now I'm all set.
Thanks!
