Fine with me...

I'm confused... you're ok with making the change, but won't do so until
the list help is converted from the *current* email format to a web page?

That doesn't make sense - these are two separate issues... if you can
make the change, please do so, then once a web page help is created, you
can change line 2 to the web link...

That's a link to the *help* email...

That brings up a new *email* message...

I'm talking about a link that, with one click, takes you to a *web* page
that simply says something like "You have been unsubscribed from
this-list - if this was in error, click 'here' to resubscribe."

This is how many, many unsub links work...

Hey... in fact, many unsub links in  the email footer itself takes you
to a secure confirmation *web page*, where you can then click the 'Yes,
really unsub me now!' button...

I like that idea much better now that I think of it...

I have seen no - ZERO - reasonable explanation as to how this causes
*more* trouble... please reiterate...

Not at all... I win this one hands down...
