The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Miles Fidelman <address@concealed>]

Hi Folks,

Is there any easy way to include a one-click unsubscribe link in 
messages?  (It's that time of year when folks want to take themselves 
off school-related lists, and I'm dealing with a flood of manual requests).

Right now, I include a link to a list's management page, on the server, 
and I guess I could include a mail-to: -- but is there any more way to 
include "click to unsubscribe" - ideally one that's auto-customized to 
reflect a subscribers as-subscribed address, rather than the one they 
ultimately receive email at.

The obvious use case is subscribers who are receiving forwarded mail.  I 
have a growing number of subscribers, on one particular list, who would 
like to unsubscribe, have forgotten what email address they're 
subscribed under, are not technical enough to decipher headers - so they 
can't log in, and an unsubscribe-by-email would come from an 
unrecognized address.

It's a standard function of list managers used by marketing types - but 
doesn't seem to be included in things like Sympa or Mailman.  Anybody 
have a code tweak for this?

Thanks,

Miles Fidelman
