so, that “Unsubscribe” button that some mail apps show when you get mailing list emails with a List-ID header… that doesn’t really work, does it? because it seems like it never really works

Depends on if the address in the header actually goes somewhere. I’ve had some outright bounce and reply as such because the address didn’t exist 😅
Others don’t work outright because they’re malformed and Mail will throw an error.
All clicking that button does is send a blank email to that programmatic address… it’s literally just sending an email 😅
yeah i know how it’s supposed to work… just seems like many of them don’t respect the mail receiver
Doubtful. I’ve started mass blocking them, I don’t care anymore.
