Putting a mailto link in a Thunderbird signature file
I am starting a small mailing list for a newsletter. I would like to put an "unsubscribe" message in a signature file that opens up a new message to write in the user's email program with the return address and subject already filled in, so they can just click "send" to automatically be unsubscribed. I saved the following as a file that I then select to use as the signature for the mailing list:
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, click Unsubscribe to be removed from this list.
When I send a test message to myself, it looks okay and the link is clickable, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Is there something wrong with my format, or is what I am trying to do not possible? Thank you.

In the attached picture, the word unsubscribe is selected, then Ctrl+K to enter the link. When the link is clicked in the received mail, TB launches a new message to the janedoe address, with unsubscribe as the Subject. If that isn't working when you use the same syntax, the setting for mailto links may not be correct in the OS, or maybe there's an incorrect preference in TB.
Make sure you create the signature file with the TB message composer.

I originally tried doing this in the message composer, but I think I pasted HTML into the box instead of just typing as a normal message. Anyway, it worked fine the way you told me. Thanks so much!
