In which case, the classic (or WEB) signon would be required. Of course the unsubscribe-request only works for exact matches of FROM: and subscriber d.b. As far as "long" bottom_banners, they could be condensed into a URL to a WEB page that has all of the required info e.g., much like what is contained in" Thyroid Archives - http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/thyroid.html which is MORE THAN just archives. /Pete
