Ben has created an excellent Listserv Tip: "How can I add a custom bottom
banner to all of the messages posted to a list?"    Thank you!

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but it seems there is a potential
problem with having a default one-click unsubscribe in new lists:

For discussion lists, it appears that if I reply to a list email and
include the original distribution, *my* one-click unsubscribe link will be
shown followed by the recipient's one-click unsubscribe link.    That
(those) recipient(s) might click *my* unsubscribe link and poof, I'm
gone!   One might say I should have edited my reply, but my mail client may
not allow it or I might simply forget or not expect the action.

As I know of no way to distinguish between an announcement list or a
discussion list at list creation time or message distribution time,   how
is it that announcement list functionality trumped discussion list (bad)
surprise factor?

The same sort of problem occurs on an announcement list where I share,
separately from Listserv, a wonderful distribution with someone ... one of
my recipients may see my email, not think it so wonderful,  and unsubscribe
me.

Has anyone addressed this problem (if it is a problem or a resolvable
problem)?

​Thanks and c​
heers, Wayne
