What's new in MailList Controller Free 13.5
Oct 18, 2023

A "mailto" link is now inserted at the end of each message, which, in addition to the keyword for unsubscribing (in the subject), also contains the original email address of the recipient (in the body). Otherwise, in the case of forwarding and aliases, the wrong email address may be removed from the list or the removal may not work.
