Emails now have an unsubscribe option

#1

Just noticed this today.

Emails from church leaders now have an unsubscribe option at the bottom.

In the "send a message" member selection, you can now see whether a member has unsubscribed.

I'm curious about what the default is. When it was first pointed out several weeks back, mine was "unchecked". Unless there was a change, I'd expect a lot of members would suddenly be missing emails.

About a third of our stake members have an email address listed (keeping in mind this is individual, not household).
Of those, three members appear to have "unsubscribed" (including one less-active who in the past has liked getting messages).

I'm not sure if there is an internal difference between those that unsubscribed using the link in the email vs previously unchecking the box in account settings, that would be a further interesting issue if there was.

One thing that I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to is removing the footer when I forward messages.

Did the footer change? The last message I got was March 26th and the footer was
You received this email because you made your email address available to your local Church leaders. It was sent by xxxxxxx, whose calling is Elders Quorum Second Counselor.

The last one I received (yesterday) had "Email Preferences" and "Unsubscribe" links at the bottom of the email. Just below the sentence you quoted.

There is also an "Unsubscribe" link at the top (next to the "noreply-lcr..." sender address to the right of the sender's name).
