Signaling One-Click Functionality for List Email Headers

Overview

RFC 8058, “Signaling One-Click Functionality for List Email Headers”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2017 by J. Levine, T. Herkula. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes a method for signaling a one-click function for the List-Unsubscribe email header field. The need for this arises out of the actuality that mail software sometimes fetches URLs in mail header fields, and thereby accidentally triggers unsubscriptions in the case of the List-Unsubscribe header field.
