TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
A somewhat more serious question about content-filtering tools:
When we send out a bulk email message, we comply with the law by
including instructions for the recipient to unsubscribe from our mailing
list. Now I am getting bounce messages from filtering tools that use the
word _unsubscribe_ as a trigger. I guess there are companies that just
don't want their employees to subscribe to any sort of industry
newsletter, but I find this rather silly, not to mention annoying. Does
anyone have a workaround for this kind of filtering?
Of course the bigger issue for us is that some companies automatically
reject _all_ html email, and I can't get our marketing types off their
html jones (they think they get a better response rate with it). But
that's a battle for another day.
