They want off, they get off *NOW!* I just wanted to say that I agree with Douglas completely. For those subscribers who find themselves unable to unsubscribe from our lists themselves for whatever reason, I do my best to unsubscribe them within 24 hours of receiving a request to do so. All I was looking to do was find a way to track those subscribers who sign themselves off, so that I can keep my database up to date, and it looks like the Notify= keyword is doing just what I need. Thanks to whoever suggested it!
