insert unsubscribe link

Question

Does anyone know how to put in a link so recipients of my email design updates can unsubscribe?  Even if they gave me permission to send monthly emails I would like them to have the option to opt out.  

Thanks, Jean

Hi FiniDesign,

I understand that you would like to know how to add a link to your emails. Don't worry, we would be glad to assist you with this.

Here's what you can do, you can add the link in your signature so that whenever you compose an email, it would be there already and not something you would have to type every single time. Please follow the instructions below on how to do this:

1. Go to your Outlook.com inbox.
2. Click on the gear icon on the upper right hand corner next to your name.
3. Choose More Mail Settings.
4. Under Writing Email, click Message font and signature.
5. On the bottom part, that's where you would be able to edit your signature. On the drop down on the left hand corner of the signature portion, choose Edit HTML.
6. Once done, you can add a link on your signature with this format: <a href="URL">name</a>
7. Click Save.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks!

HI, Did you solve it?

if not and for others, you can go to signature, then insert Hyperlink con (last icon on the left side at edit signature window), then choose Email Address then fill the Subject line "Unsubscribe" for example

Answer 3

Ummmm.  What? What URL? What link name? 

I'll just put a message on the bottom of the email that says if you would like to unsubscribe please reply to this email with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject line.  Thanks anyway,

Hi

Thanks for your advice.

 I have tried a couple of steps as well.

 I change my signature all the time but I do not have the same info on my signature line/box that you folks have.

 I can change name, add a statement, add a picture etc. I want tp add a one liner "please unsubscribe to this email" but I am not sure of the next steps.

I would like to add a click here line but not sure of what the click here would take you to. Any advice would be helpful.

 Thank you very much.

Hi,

To clarify step 6, using <a href="URL">name</a>, replace the "URL" to the link that you want to insert, then put the link name into >name<.

Example: <a href="https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-email/insert-unsubscribe-link/4e37fcb2-e038-403d-93d3-68203675e4cb">insert unsubscribe link</a>

Your link is https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-email/insert-unsubscribe-link/4e37fcb2-e038-403d-93d3-68203675e4cb

Link name is insert unsubscribe link

• Don't forget to click on Save.

Thanks!
