Description xdmx 2008-08-25 15:35:01 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)

This header help to unsubscribe fast from a mailing list, or (if you are who sent the mails) avoid that users click on "spam" instead of search the "unsubscribe link".
Here is the example on live:

And here is mailchimp

For other info there is the website http://www.list-unsubscribe.com

Hope to see it in the next releases :)

This is already in KMail.
Select the folder holding the mails from the list. Select the "Folder" menu and then "Mailing List Management".
Comment 2 xdmx 2008-08-26 20:26:03 UTC
I think it's quite different. I mean, you right, there is that to manage mailing lists. But how many normal users know that ? And how many of them would actually go there to unsubscribe from a mailing list (instead a click on the "spam" button which is right there when you read the mail)?

I think that the possibility to unsubscribe directly from the mail (without go through the mail to search the unsubscribe link) would be a lot better, both for usability and velocity. What do you think?
Comment 3 Torgny Nyblom 2008-08-26 21:12:06 UTC
I think what you ask is "overkill" since most mailing lists have an unsubscribe link at the bottom of all mails and since the number of times you unsubscribe from a mailing list is relative small.

What I do think _might_ be a valid feature request would be for KMail to automaticly identify a folder as containing a mailing list and somehow flag that folder as being a list folder (and fill in the mailing list management).

Yes, this would be nice too :)

you'll be pleased to know this feature is in kmail-1.13.0 (kde 4.4.0)

http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1768/

right click on the header of the email - mailing list - all list-* functions.

Please mark as done!

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.
Comment 7 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 00:19:26 UTC
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
