Anyone have a list of MUAs that actually support RFC 2369 with subscription management widgets in the GUI? Surely someone has written one but I can't seem to find any documentation to that effect. On the other hand, the very first guideline at http://www.mail-abuse.com/an_listmgntgdlines.html is: "Mailing list administrators must provide [...] clear and effective instructions for unsubscribing from a mailing list." Hidden in the headers is rather less than clear or effective. Even that lightweight, the CAN-SPAM act, calls for each message to contain "clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity [...] to decline to receive further" messages. -Bill -- William D.
