Thanks, David, for the confirmation!

The auto link-scanning will still produce that confirmation email to the 
user, which will confuse and annoy them - they are quite easily confused 
and annoyed :). And more and more of them are behind this kind of link 
protection.

The better way for it to work would be like Constant Contact or many 
other services: the link brings up only a web page showing your email 
address with an Unsubscribe button, and only clicking that button 
performs the unsub. No action is performed until that button on that web 
page is clicked, which the link-scanners won't do.
