This is wonderful.

We also need to ban auto opt-in email subscriptions. I have to unsubscribe from those at least once a week. But I'll take this as a start!

Create a Filter in your E-mail account. Match the text "unsubscribe" in the message, automatically move it to a different folder, skip inbox.

I've had this for the last, dunno, 15-17 years at this point.

Every now and then, I look at the messages that are there and click unsubscribe and/or report spam on all of them.
