Overview

This application is supposed to help at improving the overall quality of the mass e-mails your site sends out by:

1. Creating a simple subclass of django.core.mail.EmailMultiAlternatives, which adds a List-Unsubscribe header to the email message and a render_message function that is a wrapper to render_to_string to add unsubscribe_url to the context.

2. Providing a replaceable urlconf and view, which provides a unique url for each user wishing to unsubscribe.

This application does not:

1. Compose, create or mail newsletter e-mails for you. That is up to you.

2. Actually unsubscribe members from your mailing lists. It provides a signal, unsubscribe.signals.user_unsubscribe, which you must hook on to to unsubscribe your users.
