Requesting a feature in this hack:
-To have a link within the email msg stating if you don't want to receive this email again please "click here", to unsubscribe the user from such mailing list if he desires, will protect us all from being reported as spammers.

That's quite easy to add in the Admin options in the existing mod. Just create your email content to include the link. Mine provides specific details:

Try the solution above. I think this option is superfluous and probably self-defeating. If it were included, I'd disable it. Just use a reasonable repeat interval, not shorter than once per month. And include the "unsubscribe" instructions in every email your forum sends out.
