Hello Everyone

I'm sending out an email to about 1000 people (in a database) There will be an unsubscribe link in the email.  When they click on the link - their email address will be displayed and an unsubscribe button to confirm they want to unsubscribe.

How can I retrieve the email address from the email and display it in a textbox on the unsubscribe confirmation webpage?

I'm using asp... hope you can help!

Thanks

The link you provide to them in the email should contain either the email address or account id in the querystring. Your page would then retrieve the address using the criteria provided in the querystring.

Hi Bregent

Thanks for the reply. So the webpage itself will have the code retriving the email address from the email?

Will I not need some code in the email message itself to send the email address to the webpage when it is opened?

something like this?...

getemail= Request.Querystring("email")

hope you can help me further.

>to put that code into each email individually?

Yes, of course. Each email you send needs to encode the id/address of the individual.

>Yes I will be sending them all at once.

Check with your host and make sure they will allow this. Some hosts restrict the number of email messages that can be sent within a certain timeframe.


Thanks for the help! :-D
