[Asrg] FeedBack loops

[Franck Martin]

I feel, there is a need to have a protocol working before advising it as a best practice. 

This could be a task for this research group (I'm not volunterring here ;) ) 

How to analyse email headers and have a successful unsubscription when user says "no more", otherwise report as spam. 

Cheers

It's been discussed many times. Hotmail kinda sorta has something like that 
already, and there was an early-alpha Thunderbird plugin floating around for 
a while. 

This is an area where we need to see some actual MUA-level experimentation 
before we can codify a best practice.
