SuperMailer can recognize on the base of subject of email whether it is subscription or unsubscription of the recipients list. Therefore a certain word must be specified e.g. "subscribe" to let SuperMailer correctly detect the mailing list action. In text of email the text
email: <email address>
must be present. If SuperMailer does not find this text than the sender email address of the email is used for adding or removing from recipient list.
