Good idea, it is easy to induce in wwsympa. This need to modify wwsympa in
order to rename the customized file insteed of modify it so a "undo" button
and a new action can be introduce. We will do it very soon.

This is a frequently asked question. Current version of Sympa do not allow
this way because that would break the smtp bulk mailer with grouping many
"RCPT TO" in a single smtp session with a single body message transfert.
So we recommend you to use the "REMIND" sympa feature to send to each
subscriber a personalized message including a one click unsubscribtion method
(next version of Sympa include a task manager so you will be able to schedule
a remind every #n days). However, this seems to be a frequent need so we will
do it but, we need to imagine a way that some messages are sent without
parsing user variables, with low bandwith usage and high performences and some
others are sent subscriber per subscriber parsing  variables like
[user->email]. This may be done for next version 3.3. (3.3apha will be out in
few days, 3.3 will be probably released in november)

(Many users ask for this feature because they want to use Sympa for spam).

Good idea.
