Not to mention that Federal law requires a one-step unsubscribe method.

As I often seem to get challenged on this, here is the text of the law:

"§ 316.5 Prohibition on charging a fee or imposing other requirements on 
recipients who wish to opt out.
Neither a sender nor any person acting on behalf of a sender may require that 
any recipient pay any fee, provide any information other than the recipient’s 
electronic mail address and opt-out preferences, or take any other steps except 
sending a reply electronic mail message or visiting a single Internet Web page, 
in order to:

(a) Use a return electronic mail address or other Internet-based mechanism, 
required by 15 U.S.C. 7704(a)(3), to submit a request not to receive future 
commercial electronic mail messages from a sender; or

(b) Have such a request honored as required by 15 U.S.C. 7704(a)(3)(B) and 
(a)(4)."

You can read more about it, in plain English, here:
