Yes, Fred G is correct: Forwarding the photo.net contest email in the Apple MacOS Mail app does reveal an unsubscribe link the composing window for the to-be-forwarded message. In addition, it also reveals a "Missing Plug-in" warning too. Perhaps these behaviors are ultimately due to a bug in the Apple MacOS Mail app, but the bottom line is that even emails from actual spammers manage to show unsubscribe links. Photo.net is pushing the limits, and it needs to dial back the complexity of its emails.

As I noted in my first message in this thread: "I'm using Apple's Mail Version 11.2 (3445.5.20) on macOS Version 10.13.1 (17D47)." I suspect that whoever designed photo.net's contest emails got overly fancy and introduced a platform dependency.

On 28 Feb 2018, I posted in this forum ("How to unsubscribe from contest announcement emails?") asking how to manage my account settings so as to no longer receive emails announcing contests. There was a response from "Admin Testing" who then promptly closed the thread to further replies. "Admin Testing" said to use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of all emails. I'm attaching screenshots of one of the recent contest emails from photo.net (two screenshots, so as to show the full extent of the message with scrolling). I don't see any unsubscribe link. Even dragging the pointer over the whole message, to see if the highlighting colors would reveal a link, did not reveal any unsubscribe link. I'm using Apple's Mail Version 11.2 (3445.5.20) on macOS Version 10.13.1 (17D47). This missing or invisible unsubscribe link, along with the fact that I'm getting two copies of every contest announcement email (sent within minutes of each other, to the same recipient address), are indications of fundamental problems at photo.net or its email list contractor. What can be done about this?

Hello, I want to stop receiving the slew of photo.net contest announcement emails. Even worse, each announcement is duplicated — I receive two copies of each of those emails (to the same recipient address). I've turned off every email setting I can find in my account settings, and two months ago I emailed contact@photo.net about this. There's been no response. What can be done short of canceling my account?
