    Why would an unsubscribe button (or any link in an email) be inactive....

    When you hover over the link, you just get a text highlight icon, not a hand icon.... Would it be that Images are blocked or something like that?


    Win 7
    Chrome
    Yahoo email I believe.

    gmail has an option to see original text -handy if you suspect that the email address is being phished

    not sure if yahoo has too

    viewing emails in plain text is worth a try if you can find the option - sometimes you may have to click the button to forware it first - depends on your client


    BTW a lot of spam sends a picture instead of text, because spam filters can't read the text in a picture

    I'll see if theres an option for plain text.

    Im not sure if these emails are legit actually, I know this one is from a medical group that my friend expects mails from, other than that I don't know if its all just spam.
