[Dx-qsl] Curious

[Phil Whitchurch]

I found the un-subscribe service but only after opening one of the 
unsolicited cards from QSL World.  Unfortunately, it only applied to a 
single callsign, so as a QSL manager for several, I can see a lot if 
unsubscribing in the future. :-(  Previously, I'd just deleted them unread.

73 for now

spam folder by design.   I get a huge quantity daily, and on contest 
weekends......uuuugh.

service you never signed up for.  Or just block the domain in you 
UCE/spam filter.
