Would this really be a problem?

If you have a look at the article, linked from the article, they are hiding the un-subscribe link when the link is inside quotes.

For me, the emails that get forwarded to different accounts (due to email rules), don't have quotes, so the link will show. But pressing the forward button will put quotes around the entire email, so the link won't be shown.

In saying that, there are probably some email setup out there, that doesn't work like mine, and just happens to wrap every email that it displays in quotes...



I don't know if it is a problem with their system, but it has been an issue numerous times with other systems for me.

I don't see how their system would solve the issue that occurs with this system: "inputting your email address and then pressing an ubsubscribe button" If I have to input my email address, I have to determine which email address I have to input.


I have run into this several times. Always very annoying. I have many accounts in a desktop app and a unified inbox.
