There's nothing that constitutes a "security threat", so removing it isn't
the answer.
There's an unsubscribe link. When people forward emails from this (or any
other email with such a link) recipients "downstream" can click that link
and with many (most?) email lists that results in the original recipient
being unsubscribed whether they want to or not. With Mark's system you have
to confirm your desire to unsubscribe specifically to avoid having people
removed without their permission.
If you get a email to confirm an unsubscribe request that you didn't
submit, simply delete and ignore the confirmation email; and rest assured
you're still in the loop.
I have certainly clicked those unsubscribe links to remove others from
other lists if they continually forward emails to me that I don't want.
I'm old school so I still edit my replies. ;)
I also still edit the recipient list so you don't get multiple copies. :)
