How to Know When Unsubscribing Isn't Safe

E-mail newsletters like mine -- the ones that are sent by legitimate
publishers, anyway -- proudly proclaim, "You can unsubscribe at any time!"
But how do you know that for sure? What if unsubscribing from an e-mail
newsletter actually prompted the publisher to sell your e-mail address to
spammers, who then sent you more spam?
Now there's an easy way to know in advance whether it's safe to subscribe to or
unsubscribe from an e-mail list. Best of all, it's free. And I'll bet that the
details of some innocent-looking unsubscribe forms that are not safe to use
will shock you.
