I'm getting ready to travel in a few weeks, and I'll be out of pocket for nearly two months. So I'm gradually unsubscribing to nearly everything.

But some big-time zines have the dorkiest unsub procedures. They often don't show which email address you're subbed with. Sure, I ought to remember, but how many email addresses do you have, and can you, off the top of your head, remember what you're subscribed to with which address?

I can't even remember all my user names and passwords since I kicked out Gator. Though I have been trying to write them all down.

Anyway, this ezine consumer sent one little suggestion to Big-Time Editor. Maybe if enough people complain, they'll buy some decent mail management software or services.

Body of letter:

How about including in the ezine somewhere the email address of the individual subscriber? Say, as in the header?

I've been trying for an hour to unsubscribe, and, since I use a dozen different addresses, I have yet to figure out which one is subscribed to XYZine.

That's a bad flaw in your software.

I will be traveling for two months. And if I ever manage to unsubscribe, I will think twice about resubbing.
