3. You Want To Unsubscribe There's a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way will cause stress for both you and the publisher. Here's what you need to know:
a. Use the unsubscribe instructions included in the ezine. Typically, you will be asked to send email to an address such as unsubscribe@myzine.com. The publisher's software is set up to
My Path To Self-publishing Last year, I completed my first novel--a 180-page fictional account of one man's personal journey of discovery in which he contemplates the meaning of life and death. Writing .....
process unsubscribe requests that are sent to the address supplied for that purpose. Unsubscribes sent to other addresses may well be missed. Clicking "Reply" and sending your unsubscribe message to the ezine's address is unlikely to work.
b. When sending an unsubscribe request, you MUST use the same email address that you used when you subscribed. If you subscribe to an ezine with your me@hotmail.com address, then send an unsubscribe while your email software is set to your me@home.com address, the publisher will not find that address in the list and will not be able to unsubscribe you.

c. If you are subscribed using 2 or more addresses, you will receive 2 or more copies of the ezine. The publisher and his technology do not understand that both addresses belong to you. If you want to unsubscribe totally, you will need to unsubscribe using both addresses. If you remove only one, the ezine will continue to be sent to the other.
4. They Asked for my Name when I Subscribed. The subscribe form asks for your name and your email address. You suspect they are planning to use your name for some nefarious purpose.
Wrong. The publisher is personalizing the email that she sends. Most subscribers like receiving personalized messages instead of generic ones. If you fill in the form with a bogus name such as AABBCC, when your ezine arrives, it will say "Dear AABBCC", instead of "Dear Mary.'
5. I Didn't Subscribe. I've Been Spammed! Are you sure' It's not uncommon for people to forget they have subscribed to an ezine and decide it is spam. Of perhaps your kid had a good time subscribing to every ezine she found on the web. Many publishers use various means to verify and confirm subscribers. A false accusation of spam can prove embarrassing if the publisher can produce mail logs or IP addresses demonstrating that someone did indeed subscribe from your computer. It also happens occasionally that a friend or enemy subscribes people without letting them know. That's not your fault, but it's not the publisher's fault either.
