When I did my latest forum upgrades I did forum-wide mailings to let people know about the changes, and that I was running sweepstakes to celebrate. While most users are happy to hear from me there's always the occasional ones who are grumpy. They are used to one-click-unsubscribes from all their other feeds. They grump that unsubscribing from these mailings require them to figure out their username, figure out their password, log in, figure out where to change the email setting, etc. They feel it should be one click.

Thoughts? Is there a way to provide a one-click unsubscribe like many other engines do - one that unsubscribes without necessarily allowing access to the user's account in other ways?
