Apple, please add *links* (in email) to cancel notifications

But some discussions go on and on, often with a lot of useful info. And if you cut off your emails too early, you may miss it. All the same it will be interesting to see what others think.

With all due respect, the point at which someone decides to stop receiving notifications is irrelevant to this thread. 🙂

This thread is about the fact that once someone has decided to stop receiving notifications -- whenever that may be -- it's far too cumbersome to actually do so. There should be an "unsubscribe" link in each email we receive.

I've posted it to feedback. But by posting it here, others may be inspired to do so, as well. 🙂

I agree with you totally. A lot of bad will is created by spamming people with emails they didn't realize they requested.

Isn't there some legal issue with this? I seem to recall some law being passed about proper identification in email. Forget much about it.

It seems that you, too, have misunderstood the purpose of my post.

The email notifications are not spam. You are responsible for adjusting the discussion settings to suit your needs. You can specify -- at any time -- whether or not to receive email notifications. If you don't want them, disable them. 🙂

I want to receive notifications, so I've set my account to automatically receive them.

However, there comes a point (perhaps after you've solved a particular problem, etc.) at which you no longer want to receive notifications on a particular topic.

Other forums include -- in each email message -- a link that, when clicked, disables notifications for that particular thread. But the Apple-discussion email notifications do not include such links. My post is about the lack of such links (and nothing more). 🙂
