# How does unsubscribe work?

 * I can’t figure out how the unsubscribe / manage subscriptions page works. When
   you click the link, a page open with an example e-mail & date but no way to enter
   the e-mail you want to manage. How could the plugin know who wants to unsubscribe?
   Is there a way to pass the adress to the plugin? Or at least to enter the adress
   on the manage-page?
 * This seems to be common, a lot of sites have this example-adress.
 * In my case, a simple unsubscribe would suffice – I only hava one list to manage…
 * Thanks!

 * The manage page only works on messages sent to subscribers. It doesn’t work when
   navigating to the manage URL or sending test messages. All the links are unique
   so you have to click one from an actual newsletter.
 * When you click from an actual newsletter the email address will be there.
